Lil Sissy<\/a> nagged me to go with her to A Work of Heart<\/a> on Tuesday night. She started last week and kept asking. We had some pending, but tentative plans that fell through, so I was able to go. It was one of the worst weather nights of the year – lost power, water on the road, rain for hours – and the drive was a bit arduous. Still, I am really glad I went. The piece above is the piece I made.<\/p>\n

Not a quilt, or fabric related piece, so stop reading now if you are not interested in mixed media.<\/p>\n

Andrea, the AWOH goddess, was inspired to make her original piece<\/a> after reading Taking Flight by Kelly Rae Roberts<\/a>. This type of mixed media isn’t really my thing mostly because it is so messy and I just don’t have a space to be supremely messy.\u00a0 I really went to the class to hang with my sister and mom<\/a> and because I want A Work of Heart to be successful. Also, I need to learn to be more spontaneous.<\/p>\n

I love this piece. I didn’t think I would, but I love the end result. I needed a bit more time for the class, but I got done. I just felt a bit rushed. I love the messiness of it. I love the spontaneity of the piece. I love the mix of turquoise and ‘titan buff’ over the ripped paper. I think I would like to do one of these with copies of some of my great grandmother’s letters. She had beautiful handwriting and it would have so much meaning to me.<\/p>\n

I feel like this is really a successful piece.<\/p>\n

I didn’t plan to rip the paper, but I saw my sister doing it and copied her. When Andrea mentioned ‘titan buff’ (the beige I rolled over the background with the turquoise) I heard “tight and buff” and we had a good laugh about the implications of\u00a0 such a name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
