SIGH. Well, chalk it up to “know your limitations”, whether they’re skill set or interest.
I’m sure you’re all tired–hell, I’M tired, of all the blah blah about the end of res exhibit. *Nothing* i’ve pulled has really got the crank turned, even with the possibility of using the recent naturally dyed threads. And since we’re now down to 18 days until the show is hung, well, whatever……………..
SO, instead of beating myself up, and worrying about what i might Finish (in 18 days??? yeah, right…) , i’m going back to this:
Started last year, however much i get done on her will be my goal, and that’s good enough. She may have to be hung “creatively”!
Her body is almost done, though who knows what else may happen on those large alabaster thighs 🙂 ?
I’m going to be doing her wings similarly to what i did on “Strange Soul Take Flight” (left), and “The Weight She Carries” (right), but not so slavishly that i’d be repeating myself.
Yeah, yeah, what will be, will be.
I think that’s a very mature/rational approach to the deadline.
She’s already a lovely piece, and a good jumping off place for something that can be completed in the time you have left.
Bravo!

Thanks Julie! I’m *finally* at a point where i’ve realized i’m only human 🙂 We too often put SO much pressure on ourselves!

She could well be deliberately incomplete . . . I am. Perfection often sought but I think is probably overrated. A beautiful beginning as this, is is so much better.
