Woooh, life is still hectic ... nothing much has changed since my last post. I am, however, feeling very blessed to be as busy as we've been since Christmas. We started 2016 with a bang and we haven't stopped since 😊. The downside is my lack of spare time continues. And I'm finally cool with that.
I finally finished my colour vase ....
... and immediately started another. So it took a month to complete but I was so pleased when I finished my second pot. I get this wave of excitement when I find a craft that just "fits"... it just feels right. One aspect I love so much about being creative is the freestyling stage, as I call it. The opportunity to just create with no pre-planning, I find, is creatively freeing. All I knew is I wanted to use paper raffia and inlay an embroidered design on the front. The design is supposed to be an abstract flower of sorts as the top of the pot looks like it has petals. It's wonky and not quite right (pre-planning certainly has its upsides) but it's quirky and gives me a visual lesson to improve on for next time.
So here she is ....
Have a great rest of your weekend!
