A New Idea Taking Shape...

Here's what's been happening... Lately, I've been busy but feeling entirely uninspired. Yet, by now I know that this usually is a phase when I hatch a new idea. My problem is that I am not very patient, so I decided to fill this in-between time with knitting and crocheting.
I found some ribbon yarn in new colors and finished three scarves already - white with a silver thread (so pretty and festive!), burgundy and copper (luscious!), and light blues and aquas (cool and fresh!). I also crocheted another curly scarf, this time in bright red! I'll let you know if and when I list them in my shop.
Knitting and crocheting is very rhythmic and with easy patterns like these, perfect to let my mind wander on it's own mysterious path.

And then, yesterday, BINGO! An idea started forming and I could hardly contain my excitement! Something new with my art, something fun, something unpredictable and with endless possibilities!
Remember these two ladies? I always had a feeling they weren't finished and now I know why! I won't go into the details of it all just yet (too much to sort out still), but wanted to let you know that these two are about to go on a journey! Let's wish them Bon Voyage...
And when they come back to me, I sincerely hope that they won't be the same, that their journey will have left it's mark.

There's much more to write, but this will have to be enough for now...it's all still unfinished, swirling ideas in my mind.

In the meantime, I hope your week is progressing with wonder and excitement! I promise I will be by to visit your blogs! And I thank you for continuing to visit mine and to leave your much appreciated comments. You brighten my days!!

P.S. I am also working on another painting I hope to show you soon. It's looking quite different!

  4. I know exactly what you mean about filling in the "waiting for inspiration" moments w/ something like knitting or even (for me) rug hooking and hand sewing and the simple rhythm lets your mind wander and follow it's own path. Can't wait to see where this will take you creatively. I'm finding myself at a new phase too and it's scary and exciting to see what comes of it. Happy Creating!
