It will be a quilt instead. I drew up the pattern this morning (bright and early) and made it the right size for the hankies, but I really like the motifs and want to really *play* with them, and I'm just not that good at silk painting yet, so... Mom's going to get a quilt for her birthday!
It looks like it would be a good piece for the Straight and Narrow challenge, but I jumped back into the ArtQuilt pond a little too late to join in on that one, so mine will just have to be an unofficial entry!
Speaking of challenges, I am psyched about some I've been reading about - the Weird Quilt and Merit Badge challenges should reasonably please both sides of my personality. You know that song that goes "I'm a bitch, I'm a lover..."? I love dancing to that song, and thinking about both my sweet Girl Scout Gold Award side and my shaved my head in college side, and laugh out loud at the idea of them hashing things out in my subconscious... So I think I'm going to work these two challenges simultaneously, and see what they inspire in each other.... Maybe I should make the 'rebel' quilt about my parent-pleasing side, and my merit badge about my wicked, snarky side.... Hm....
I was thinking about trying to get my photos up again tonight, but I am just too darned motivated to get back into the studio after my afternoon with my college roomie/best friend and her 7 month old twins in sunny, gorgeous, loose-the-sweater-warm Burlington today! I'm *trying* to keep my unread digests down under 100, but I'm not sure I'll have much luck... ah well. Enjoy!
