Things not to be rushed
Threading a needle, cutting
Loading the bobbin.
Art Prescription: Sewing…it cannot be done in a rush. Like most things haste leads to more frustrating road blocks. The student is listening, but still trying to rush…argh.
Lined Zipper Bag #2 – Mock up design for Art Prescription Kit:
The Titmice protest
This great silent visitor
On the edge of field.
Art Prescription: A late afternoon hike at Mason Farm was very quiet…until the owls came out!!
Index card with watercolor and my chop “hope”
Winter drive, top down
Golden hair flies in the wind
Convertible bug.
Art Prescription: Snow last week, 75 today.
Illustration with colored pencil on index card:
Steady drip drip drip
Snow melts, water runs to creek
Drop of joy travels.
Art Prescription: The snow is pretty, but kind-of glad to see grass again.
Art journal collage with watercolor and sewing:
Make, invent, arrange
In the spur of the moment
Improvisation.
Art Prescription: I though, “I’ll just make a little stuffed bunny.” More than an hour later, I was tangled in thread and cut fabric. My little bunny is pretty home-made and a little loose around his edges, and I enjoyed playing.
Improvisational sewing:
Life, many layers
The lived days add, a year
To lead with your heart.
Art Prescription: How you spend your days add up to how your spend your year…
Collage and sewing on paper:
Dream time while I sleep
Backed out of drive, spun and slid
Comforter calls me.
Art Prescription: Had my swim-suit on ready to go! Thawed my van…backed out…and went absolutely nowhere! Plan B: walked and bird-watched…lovely.
And painted:
Sun casts long shadows
On the snowy white landscape
Spring, patient lover.
Art Prescription: Lovely long walk in the snowy woods today.
8 1/2 x 11 watercolor:
When the snow storm hit
Mildred and her feathered friends
Protested the cold.
Art Prescription: The cats are all warm by the fire…what about us?
Watercolor:
The click-click of sleet
No bread or milk to be found
Snow storm in the south.
Art Prescription: It was the perfect evening for art journaling!
