life is interesting. I am keeping busy with the kids and hair and art. feeling very inspired these days, especially since the boys are back in school. I usually get a little caught up with some new project. and there is one. a new project. a spin-off of some earlier project. I am using recycled clothing mostly, since I have a lot left over from the many years of thrift store shopping. and now, my friend has helped me go through my closet and empty half of it out. now I have more to work with. excellent.
I have been covering furniture for the last few years. I started with chairs, maybe 3 or 4 years ago. time flies, I can't remember. the chairs have been evolving. I got motivated again recently when I was trying to get rid of some rabbit fur. some pieces looked perfect for some projects, so I went in that direction. made some serious progress, but need to really finish some of these chairs up. pretty awesome to me. I like them.
my new work entails draping and fitting and creasing and styling, just working with the shape and structure of the piece, be it the fur or the object I am dressing. this is a new series of 6. this last project started when I was covering shelves for a bookshelf. I don't know where I get these ideas. I do have some tables covered though. the first piece touched me. I felt a connection. it is a learning experience. it is a process. it takes such a long time too. I made some good progress today. when I was trying to finish the last bit of a piece I spent a few hours on today, I thought about being late to pick up the kids from school. it is hard to walk away from that flow. I just had to be ten minutes late if it meant I could be very close to feeling satisfied with the latest board.
