I've found myself being mesmerized by some images, ideas, blogs lately and I want to share a bit of it with you. Many of these 'enlightenments' have come to me in circuitous routes, but many have happened through
art for housewives, which is a marvelous resource and I urge you to check it out on a regular basis.

For instance just click
here on Sri Threads and feast your eyes. I practically tear up it's so breathtakingly, humanly, amazing. ahhh.

And then reading from
Grace and Mending about her discipline of procuring found cloth to create profound pieces. I can go on and on, but let me just show pictures.

So that's it for now, back to sewing, and thinking, and day dreaming, and...
What are your "something's up and I don't know what" things? hmmm.
What an artistic feast for the eyes!
ReplyDeleteLately my bed has been my biggest inspiration - I've been terribly sick. Hopefully now that I'm finishing up with school I can get better and embrace my free time asap.
I'm glad you find it so, Megan. I take naps too for breathing space, or inspiration, or breaks in-between. Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. It must be the end of school wrap-up phase. Take care!
DeleteI have just visited her blog, and I have fallen in love with it too.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, Pao.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
You have a big heart, Sacramento! Enjoy your weekend too.
DeleteWonderful coalescing of textures, all bearing the imprint of the hands of the makers; expressions of values you also hold dear - what's not to love?
ReplyDeleteIs that what it is? cool.
DeleteI checked out art for housewives--SO amazing!!! A feast for my eyes!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the images you've shown here--WOW--so cool anf inspiring for a boring monday morning!
thanks for sharing this with us!
Happy to hear your Monday's been bumped up a notch or two through beautiful images.
DeleteStupendously inspiring and just wonderful. Best blog post I've read all afternoon! xxx
ReplyDeleteWoohoo Vix, what a super-duper comment! Just luv to inspire.
DeleteLovely, lovely, lovely. My oldest, The Costume Technician, has done some gorgeous fabric and very tactile art, but still think you have to draw and paint to be a "real" artist. I'll be sharing this post with her.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, why do I think a sock pullover is do-able for me? Seriously, what is making me want to sew these days are fashions from the 20s, 30s, and 50s. I am starting with mending some GW Boutique finds, and then it will be time to pick a pattern. Psyched!
Do share it with her.
DeleteI love the sock pants, only wish I would've kept all those holey sox over the years...
Alright, a sewing partner!
Great post! mille grazie for including me.....
ReplyDeleteYour top on my list of those that inspire!
DeleteThanks for the art for housewives link. I just spent 40 min there and will definitely go back!
ReplyDeleteI know, it's a visual feast.
