Thank-you so much! The sizes of circle before sewing are 14" L, and 8" S. Now the sizes can be any size you like! The base was part of the pillow case and it measured approx 22" X 27" or so. Even if your working numbers always lay the YOYO's out on your base.....the reason is the sizes of the Yoyo's may vary due to the gathering, the stitching may be tighter on one yoyo, then the other. I hope this makes sense.

I'm retired from a decorating business and part of it was to cover old lampshades. I always used flame retardant silk to line them with. The outer fabric could be almost anything however dark fabric is only for mood lighting and not for reading, You will lose light also the more you glue on such as granny squares but it is a lot of fun to work with.

I think disaster relief organizations prefer cash type donations because it is less labor intensive, otherwise they will have to hire or ask for volunteers to receive the donations. Yet handmade blankets are more than just a blanket. It is made with love that cannot be bought with a cash donation

Oh, that is wonderful! What I love about the visible stitching (Boro inspired) is the stitches do not have to be perfect. In fact, what makes them so beautiful is the humble way they are made, by hand with imperfect stitching.. This is how it was done in the 1400's in Japan and that's the way I do it too!

I am impressed that you work on so many projects and venues concurrently, and be creative too. Yes, artists as well as fashion designers reflect the mood of the times. The threats of climate change, economic divide, and authoritarianism, which in my opinion are the result of huge population growth worldwide, drives my creative work. I am hoping for a paradigm shift in our consciousness. My work reflects this desire, wabisabi and mottainai, we have to let go of our ego and work together. Through meditation, I believe our consciousness is raised. I strive to create a meditative state from chaos, that's the hope that's in my heart as I create.

I think, yes it results from the deeper issues we are all coming face to face with, whether it hurricanes, financial, social, its all there - we either gain a humble perspective and realize we need to work together or we create more issues. I just did a video and had not read this, and yes, I totally agree with the inner peace from chaos. Thank-you so much!

Thank you for the tips to start drawing again. I like the idea of drawing repetitious patterns. Even doodling encourages hand eye coordination which seems to be my problem. My brain is unsure how to communicate with my hand, it hesitates. So to compensate, I noticed I'm drawing very fast, as if to bypass my conscious mind. The result is fairly interesting. I am able to capture the essence better but it's pretty messy and rough. Fifty years ago, I mainly drew with charcoal. I concentrated on where the shades were first then drew in the details last. Another good practice I like is to paint on a collage, emphasizing colors, and shapes to bring the piece together. Also to copy on paper with paint fabric designs, just as an exercise.
@checkitoutwithcarmella-t1526
@checkitoutwithcarmella-t1526 Ай бұрын
Yes, these are fabulous ways to draw and paint. Doodling is now considered an Art due to the fact it really is a stream of consciousness. I did a piece long ago, a large doodle piece and I was simply exhausted as it does work on the subconscious level. I love to hear your contemplating your drawing. I love the Doodling idea. Go for it!
