10/365 -I'm Feeling Stabby



Inspired by a phrase from one of my favorite writers, The Blogess. It sums up my day today perfectly.

The thing I find most challenging about this project is that you get these great ideas, then when you start working with the materials you realise that they don't behave the way you expect them to and then you have to adjust and re-think.

RAD 8/365

Cats love to pull threads from our carpet. Tonight I found an orange one on the floor and thought that it would look great with gold, so I wrapped it with gold-filled wire.

RAD 7/365 & Alice!

I curled some holigahic-like green ribbon with a pair of scissors. Simple but effective. Tonight was a challenge as I had boot camp again and we welcomed Alice into our home.

Alice is currently hiding under the sofa, but I expect her to warm up to us all soon enough.

RAD 6/365

My work is usually very clean and modern, so I'm surprised by the pieces I've created for this project.

RAD 5/365

Tuesday evenings I go to Warrior Fitness Boot Camp where two marines encourage and guilt me into moving until I can move no more. I wanted to do a simple paper ring tonight but I saw the green netting on the organic garlic and was inspired to make this piece. It’s not as neat as I’d like, but I can barely move my arms.
