Lynda, it is a mind puzzle, especially if you are more realist than abstract in your art, but it is great to learn to be more abstract for me.<br />Cathy, tearing it up after 30 years?! Wow! I spent the afternoon going through a box of my late mom's sewing materials. I hated to part with some fabrics, but I think I'll now put them through some of my art. Thanks for the courage!<br />Kathy, Native American, it could be with the earthy colors. The blue piece appears to be flying upward like a bird, but I didn't see that until I turned the piece upside down!<br />Boo Hoo, I think I shall never be organized, Julie. So, I think I'll have a Play Day with friends, grab all the stashes, throw them in a pile, and let everyone have at what I have accumulated. Maybe they'll take some home (hee hee) to add to their disorganized work areas. Sounds like a plan! Have a great day, girls!

And you're right, I have no idea what all I have in my studio...when I do decide to 'organize' I find all kinds of wonderful things I've forgotten..and then I'm off and running with a new vision and it's an end to organizing...ah well, someday I'll be one of those organized artists I so admire. hug, hug.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02037465392747165349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789369589532382597.post-31894359775611548192010-03-22T15:32:34.036-07:002010-03-22T15:32:34.036-07:00Oh I love this piece.

You are so talented at many things too.I saved a torn ripped up Victorian crazy quilt I bought in HS for 30 years before using it in a project! Isn't it funny how something like a torn piece of paper can take our minds on a journey. What you are showing us here is beautiful.CathyHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05669525581229951351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789369589532382597.post-43378005779463246482010-03-20T05:34:37.956-07:002010-03-20T05:34:37.956-07:00What wonderful mind exercises!!
