New Year, new word
"vignette -- a small ornamental design filling space in a book or carving typically based on foliage"
This past year I just could not settle into anything. I tended to jump from place to place, idea to idea never really extending my learning curve nor my imagination.
With a new year I'm always tempted to become orderly. I have gathered together all the 'small stuff' accumulated over several years. Earrings that I no longer wear, buttons of all kinds, charms from 'old' bracelets. My goal for this year is to make up a bunch of 'vignettes' reflecting 'where I am right' now as well where I have been in the past. We'll see what I discover.

This sounds like fun - making beauty from "unconsidered trifles"!
ReplyDeleteSometimes jumping from one idea to another is what we need to do. It eliminates the ones that we thought might work, but didn’t. It’s a process we often have to navigate to get where we should be. Enjoy it! Looking forward to seeing your “processes”!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo-and I agree with Barbara's comment. For me-I need to experiment and so be it if I jump and hop-I'm always learning something from the process, and sometimes it even trickles down into the main projects I always come back to. I can't wait to see what you do this year!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, my sort of stuff!!!
