The quickest way for me to be contrary is to put my intentions on paper. These haloed circular elements originated back in '07 during a particularly frenzied dye fest when I was discovering the magic of discharge using dishwasher gel . I had it all over my hands and picked up pieces of fabric only to find them covered with discharged finger prints after the washout.I shuffled this piece around for about eight hours yesterday. I had it pinned to my cube wall at the office and moved things around while I talked with the clients. It felt like I was playing Chinese checkers with myself. As the evening wore on the game became chess and I'm now satisfied that I won the match.
One of the first pieces I used these elements in continues to please me. As I tell anyone who cares, it's a great life if you are easily amused.Below - "Hopped Up" from 2007

Wow! I don't remember this one. Fun to revisit people's work every now and then. I love this.
rubedo as opposed to albedo--in the sense sun against moon--then you could do a nigredo :} to complete the series
"HOPPED UP" will always be one of my favorite pieces as well - love all those bubbly pieces - like holding a glass of champagne up to the light and looking it...
a.n.t.
very "hands on"...
It's a great life if you are easily amused, I just love that sentence. It's amazing just how little it takes to make a needleworker happy isn't it! Love the piece, it's wonderful and colorful and whimsical!
This is soooo amazing!!
