small obsessions
Why does making a thing become obsessive?
Why do people fall into patterns of focusing too intently on making or doing something that seems to have no point or purpose?
Although it took only a few innings to crochet, I spent most of the morning dyeing and painting it.
Once it was nearly dry I treated it with acrylic medium so now it's stiff. If you click on the picture you can see the metallic powder that was mixed into the glaze. Maybe I should take up pottery.
You can't see it over the edge but there's a penny in there with maybe room for three more to cover the bottom of this vessel.
But there's nothing like some freshly hatched color to bring me to my senses.
