There is no doubt that quilting can make or break your quilt. Not enough quilting and a bed quilt will not wear well, and a wall hanging will be saggy. Too much quilting makes for a very stiff finished project, and it can certainly ‘gild the lily’.

Of course, if you are uneven in your quilting, you’ll create puffy, wrinkly sections that stand out for all the wrong reasons.

Here I have not quilted the rainbow points or the cream outer wave - yet. You can see how the cream fabric is puffy and creating a distraction. It’s not too bad, so I don’t think it will take much to sort it out. I’m hoping I don’t need to quilt the rainbow rays at all, but I’ll know better when I’ve finished with the surrounding areas.

Hopefully, with just the right amount of quilting around them, those rays will look like trapunto.

Ninja, on the other hand, thinks my quilt is perfect just the way it is.

This is mesmerizing to watch.

actually physically painful to watch because you know months were spent masking all those frames for each of the kajillions of transitions in this

Holy………..shmokes…….

Oh?? My god??

I’ll try my best to describe this. It’s a video with a mash-up of a bunch of different Disney movies, set to a song that’s a mash-up of a bunch of other songs. That in and of itself wouldn’t make it praiseworthy, but this is DONE SO WELL that just, holy cow.

HOLY SHIT

Everything about this is wow

Pourtrait no. 1

The first finished piece in my new series combining portraiture and the chaos of a dirty acrylic pour. There is such beauty and complexity within each of us, far beyond what can be seen on our skin.

Once among the wolves,

Now I pray for the sheep herds.

Breath in deep and slow.

You are not weak for being peaceful.

Walking in weird woods.

Faith, and feet, unrelenting.

Hunting for what’s good

But sweet secret’s sorely tempting.

Do me a favor okay? Stop trying to go back to who you were before. Before you were raped, before you got sick before an eating disorder took over your life. stop trying to be who you were five, ten, twenty years ago. Before the mental illness took over, before he died, back before your parents split or you lost your best friend.

You are NOT the same person as before. You never will be again. Give up the idolization of “before” and be who you are now. Be the you AFTER.

Thank you
