Feed the artist

Creativity in many forms - trying to include as big a variety of foods in my diet as I can. Raw muesli, yoghurt, milk, blueberries, flaked almonds, sesame seeds homemade strawberry sauce, and some husks stuff that's meant to be good for you fibre-wise.

I have a daily commitment to studio time, as well as creating in the kitchen. I've recommended the sourdough starter (not the same one from Tarome, a fresh start as with many things), am back to making cheese, baking our bread and using what I have to make all manor of edible treats. Apple tea cake and then labna/labneh with pistachios, mint and preserved lemon. Absolutely delicious.

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.
