Fully intending to participate in December's Block Studies Collective challenge with Tara Faughnan @tarafaughnan, this was the one month I'd prepared for by purchasing Tara's curated bundle of fabric. And it was lovely.
But December got the best of me. Oh don't get me wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed the things I did focus on creatively - namely the Merry Mix qal, fabric giftbags, and a couple of handmade gifts - but that left the Abstractions prompt until after the holidays. It was a surprise, even to me, that I just wasn't feeling it. I tried, making lots of little units, and rearranging them time and again before starting to piece them together. Meanwhile January arrived, and my to-do list was growing. So I did myself a favor and put it away for now... the units, the partially pieced slab, the instructions, and the beautiful fabric bundle, all together in a safe place. Hopefully it will all be rediscovered another day with more love than I can give it now. It happens, and that's ok.
Good start and colors! And yes, 'it happens', better not to force things. I think the creative juices flow sometimes best with rest and refocusing. My brain gets over loaded easy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing about your creative block. It does happen to us all, and I hope you rediscover it with joy. :)
