| Do you see an abstract house? |
The really small ones were like confetti, and my original thought was to sew them together to do hexies.
It was so much fun I just kept sewing odd piece, to odd piece and enjoying the colors. Then probably because we're moving house, I thought it reminded me of an abstract painting of a house.
After sewing choose one place to straighten it, I chose the straight dark piece at the bottom
Look at the first picture... it's showing you bead soup along the side.
Note the bottom right area.... the angles create doorways. I couldn't have done that by planing... I don't know much about perspective except when something is wrong or works.
Some of this must be intuitive because I force myself not to over think, just enjoy sewing one piece to another. Then I seek meaning in it.
I think your subconscious thoughts lead the art, what do you think?

Your subconscious mind is working well! I love the lower right. And it is close, but I think I prefer the words to the beads. But either one is a good option.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree--else why these sparks of inspiration and links that lead you to "see" something you didn't "plan" to do? Also, when something just feels right--that "Aha" while auditioning border fabrics and such...love your little piece...hugs Julierose
ReplyDeleteThis will make a darling little house - with words or beads or palm trees. Just too cute!
ReplyDeleteYou have always inspired the inner me. This piece is no exception. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a construction yard. The parts are all there. I love it.

Not only doorways, but opening to Purple Mountain Majesties. Looking ahead to your new home in Colorado.
ReplyDeleteAnd surely you aren't choosing beads in the car??? How do they not roll off?
Those primary colors are very striking and especially good looking. How fun you save those little embellishments. I've kept some for years and NEVER remember to use them. You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Very creative and inspiring. I also love the words along side of those beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super fun project! I love where you took all the little pieces and embellished the block at the end! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy the creations you share. This one has extra "sparkle" to it and exudes hope and heart. I wish you happy home making in your new location. Thanks for the inspiration to "go and play". I love just letting a piece develop all on its own.
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to sew all the little random sizes and shapes together, but they never seem to be very inspired or inspiring. And I seem to have too many dark colors, even though I've made tons of kids quilts in bright primary colors. Maybe someday something will click. Good luck with the home buying trip. It's a long drive (did it two years ago from western NY) and you are even farther east than me. But I know you'll find great places to visit along the way. Hope Milo is doing okay.

I love the things you add to your abstract pieces - especially the words, and that palm tree! I always enjoy reading about your process, too.
ReplyDeleteIntuition often knows more than the logical mind. In any case, the end result is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does look like a little house. What a fun fabric postcard this would make! Perhaps for someone moving to a new home.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing how you progress on these pieces! Thank you not only for the art but the words!
ReplyDeleteSooooooo cute! It does look like a little house. Love your fabric art.
ReplyDeleteIt really looks like you've had a lot of fun with the solids. Have a safe trip . Best wishes for sweet Milo.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a house in there; it's funny how images sometimes just grow!
ReplyDeleteLove those sewing moments when you just sew and not think and it always amazes me at what happens. You have a wonderful piece of art there - love the scattered bits on the side with the palm tree but the words are cute too! Enjoy the decision process and safe travels.
ReplyDeleteVery creative! I like the bold colors and the addition of embellishments. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!

That is so great! I loved seeing the progression.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a fun piece, with lots of doorways! Love the tile buttons on the side, as it adds the perfect touch. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLovely improv, playing with scraps is so much fun, and the little touches at the end takes it to a new dimension. Wonderful.
