This is an unfinished cloth...haven't worked on it for a long time,
almost a year and a week to be exact.
I loved it when I put it away in the cupboard, but feelings can change.
It's always a gamble to pull something out I haven't seen in awhile...
what if I don't like it anymore?
Sometimes it seems better not to know.
Do you ever have that feeling?
I guess what it comes down to is three choices...
begin again,
transform,
or continue by looking at it in a new way...
simple.

This is my contribution to 'Texture Tuesday' over at Kim Klassen's Cafe. Her texture
challenge this week was ... SIMPLICITY.

The cloth before the cupboard is back here.
Trip back a year was fun... beautiful pictures, especially the deer ears/antlers lookin' incognito in the weeds! Yep, happens to me, that apprehension after deciding to revisit an old project, especially with knitting... not so much with beading. Of course, those I generally finish. Anyway, this is a lovely example of texture. Are you going to work on it as is? The whole piece or just the part in today's photo?
ReplyDeletePart of what I loved was the texture - that velvet weaving in and out puts my heart to fluttering! It's a loooong piece, with some beading on it now, which I saw as a kind of scroll when I began....dunno where it's going yet. Stay tuned?
Deleteit is a beautiful, soft looking cloth. hope you decide to finish it. when i pull out old things that i no longer like, i take them apart to reuse the cloth or i give them away.
ReplyDeleteI'll be working on it some more before...it goes back in the cupboard?! Don't think I could bring myself to take it apart...worth keeping just to remember the exercise of *invisible basting* so something else will be happening to it, I'm certain. thanks, deanna ;>}
DeleteIt looks just fine to me as it is, C. I wonder what changed.
ReplyDelete...my frame of mind, K ;>}
DeleteI like the third choice best: continue looking at it in a new way :-)

ReplyDeleteThe learning doesn't stop, jude...and I owe this piece to you...thank you.
Deleteall of your perspectives are sound. we never see things the same with each review if we are keeping aware.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy...maybe I just need to make some new tracks, too :>]]
Deleteyes these three things are so applicable to life. But the fourth, and the most important, is acceptance.
