Chaotic Inspiration

My studio is a chaotic mess currently. I'm not sure if my mind is influencing the chaos in the studio or the chaos in the studio is influencing my state of mind. There is fabric everywhere while I work on my art quilt. I also have pieces of dyed fabric drying over the sink for my batik course. On my drawing table I have my watercolours out while I work on my calendar pages. There is just stuff everywhere. I am definitely going to have to spend some time cleaning and purging after Christmas.

I'm working on so many things at the same time that I don't always know where to begin. At this time of year I am working on stuff for Christmas and as we've moved into November, I'm not sure any of it will get done. Having really only one full day per week to spend on art is just not enough! I am slowly plugging away at the projects and am making headway but sometimes I hit a snag and what I've done doesn't satisfy me and I have to come up with another plan and start all over from the beginning.

Here's a little update on the art quilt. As I work on it, I am trying to come up with a Title. I have finished the land areas and have now begun the sky which is going a little faster.

And here's a little something that gets me excited as I work. When I took off the freezer paper to see the colours underneath, one of the pieces had such nice striations in it! A little surprise that made me happy!
