Carving my way

 

Priority #1 - Create 

I love the feel of lino giving way under the blades of  my Pfeils. I look forward to testing the print, checking for noise and tidying up until the print is perfect for textile printing. This beetle, inspired by a gorgeous book of insects by Ponsonby's, is cut into a 15cm x 15cm piece of lino. I'm creating a set of six or eight, connected only by the uniformity of lino block size - we'll see how that works in a monochrome print run on Kauffman PFD fabric.

The mess before the beauty

The excavator's words have stuck in my head, rent free. ' I have to make one hell of a mess before it can become beautiful. There is no beautiful end without the mess '. Or words to that effect. The retaining walls at the back of the house have to be finished before anything else can happen in the yard - and in between downpours, a few expletives and more rain, it has beena testing time for all involved in the construction.  I thought about his words - and the effort of making a quilt from scratch. The planning, drawing, testing, dyeing, playing, creating, starting again, creating and the final 'ah ha'. There is so much 'mess' before a quilt is resolved becomes a thing of meaning and beautiful in its own way. Blessed are the excavators.
