Hello friends,
This morning I am off to Tel Aviv. I will be away for 2 weeks but Rae is here for any of your Adorn needs. Things may be a bit slower, but just for a little while.
I'll be seeing family, friends and getting a dose of my other home. I need that from time to time.
I will be missing everyone here, including these two!!
Next week I will be making my way to Madison Wisconsin to give a workshop. The first evening, before the beginning of class, I am going to give a talk about Geometrics. I've been prepping for the talk, drawing examples, cutting felt to show shapes on a felt board, preparing notes, but there is one question that keeps coming up in my mind, and that is Why Do I Like Geometrics?
I've always gravitated to this type of needlepoint. I think the first reason, and maybe the most magical, is the process of seeing a blank canvas become a work of art, right before my eyes. There is nothing on that blank ground material, and slowly bits and pieces start forming. Sometimes they start at the middle and fan outwards, sometimes they are random, but the process is always the same, giving birth to something from nothing. Magic.
So, do you love geometrics? Do you prefer them to... painted canvas? Will you share your reasons? I'd love to hear from you!
