I started this final weekly collage for the month with a handful of scraps. Optimistic and at ease with what ever happened as I began to work.
What a mess.
Maybe when I quilt it I'll feel the harmony!?!?
Living consciously...
In the reading, Hendricks encourages communicating your feelings as you would the time of day - no need to dramatize, hide, or feel ashamed - "It's 7pm and I'm mad." His goal is for you to learn how to communicate the feeling effectively.
I'm still learning to identify the feelings effectively! I figure if I learn to become all zen-like within myself, I'll be less likely to go postal on someone else. Being aware of how a little mid-afternoon anxiousness is impacting my creativity and what I can do to mitigate that is my goal. Be aware, "ah, it's 2pm and I feel anxious," and let it pass. Now, about those positive feelings, I want to dramatize those... like Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia! Loved the women on the dock.

I love the colours and pieces you have chosen. It always fascinates me the way fabrics change when they are quilted. Looking forward to seeing the change in this piece.
Its 9:30am and I feel inspired :-)
Alis - I also like the metamorphosis - the different layers and embellishments that bring a piece together. I am, however, not holding much hope for this piece. Sometimes you just have to stand back and ask "What was I thinking?" and open the door for a little growth.
Donna - Made me smile! Thanks, I need to remember to "lean" in the direction of my more positive feelings.
