I've been spending tons of time in my studio, coming up with a few pieces here and there. I'm finding that I have to make quite a few bad or mediocre things before I make something I love. Here are a few:





I am working out 2 pieces-one recent and one that I started months ago but can't figure out the next step. This is the first piece:



The support has 10 spots that I am going to put bottles on. What will be in these bottles I'm not sure yet, but I think the piece is called The Healer and there will be 'home remedies' in these bottles. My list so far: lavender, ginger, cinnamon, salt, sage, capsicum, mint, mustard-that's it so far. I want to use dry stuff. It makes things easier. There is also an 11th spot but it's not long enough to hold the bottles I am using, so I will be putting a small candle there.  This morning I put a wider base on the bottom because I'm afraid it will tip.

The other piece is kind of like a prayer flag. I had 9 small pieces from a shoe bag that I took apart. On these pieces I embroidered an iron shape in red. The shape also looks like the shape of a church window. I want to put words on them-probably in white so they are barely noticeable against the natural canvas background. I'm not sure of the words or the direction I want to go with this piece. I hung the piece up so I won't forget about it. That happens every once in a while. And this one is really stumping me.
