I M Perfect lady

When I thought of having two blogs; to create a space between the deep escavating of my inner self, and then the Artful self moving forward…I thought it would work. To leave behind the dialogue of my past…to then create a new voice and vision…but, I feel split.  

Like there is a wall between my artful self, the one who grew from the ashes of my past…but they are all me.  

I thought of having a place to sell my art…and that may work at some point, but for now…I will bring my artful self back to the space where she grew.

I found by trying to separate the 'pretty' me from the words, emotions and experiences of my past left me feeling like a split personality.  Floating out there without roots…trying to present a cleaned up me.  

It comes to mind what I would look like if I was washed by the wand of forgiveness…leaving the dark past away from the present artful self…the self that wants to move forward not colored by the past.  It felt odd to have two of me.

I had a glimpse of what it would feel like to move on. It almost made the art less without the backdrop of my inquiring digging self….

I like it better when we are one.  When we are together. When sometimes the blog is just about the Art project I am working on….or on a thought that has me perplexed or an encounter that has left me with an aspect of my self that was missing.

I will leave the second blog out there for now…waiting to see if there will be a use for a commercial blog of cards, prints and works in progress of Art Quilts.

But, I am not there yet.

Until then, I fit on one blog.

"Jiggle Bell" Lady is done.  Nice to have chains behind her…and weathered wood.

I pictured her in the snow decorated trees and bright blue skies….maybe in a few days.

She brightens up the grey colors…and drab colors of nature.

Trying to show the textures, with the yarn and wool.  Now, I am off to play with creating a snowman.  Maybe even one doing a hand stand…like I had seen on Facebook.
