I am back on the blog after a long hiatus. Life happens. My first step back on the blog is to get back to the Connected Covers Project. Not sure what that is? Click HERE
This one is entitled “Blue Plus One.” It is 16” square and has an envelope style back.
To be more fair, I reconfigured the winner decision process. See below (not everyone is an early riser🌞and checks their email)
Reply back to this email if you are interested in this pillow cover
Everyone has 24 hours to get back to me by Thursday 8 am Central Time
I will use a random number generator to find the winner
I will email the winner, request their address and send it off in the USPS!
I’ve been organizing my studio and found some blocks from this year‘s 100 day project which I decided to sew together for a Connected Covers Project. They were destined to be part of a piece called Blue Plus One because I used several different blues and just one other color from the warm family, reds and oranges and yellow. The blocks alone would not fill out the 16” square so I added in some horizontal strips and the two black and white squares in the corners for contrast. Those two squares are from so many years ago I don’t even remember what they were from. It feels good to use bits and pieces of older projects for this special purpose of the Connected Covers Project.
As I said in my earlier post…
I am calling this project Connected Covers (Co Co for short). The title for the project reflects that we are all connected thru our humanity and shared home on Earth.
This project is a total mood booster for me. Even if you are not interested in the pillow cover, I have found this project great for my very short attention span in these unusual times. Perhaps it will inspire you to try a small creative project to make you feel a little better.
So what got me back into the studio creating again? In March I took two art classes which, frankly I have never done before. I’ve always thought things had to come from within me alone. That was a mistake. Both of these classes were very process driven where I just learned some new techniques and tools to use. I feel like a fire has been lit and I can hardly stop creating. Little did I know, this class would open up a door where I feel there are unlimited ways to express myself with the new techniques I’ve learned. So, finding these treasures cleaning out my studio has inspired me to put different things together that were not initially intended to be together.
More on all this in a future blog post…
