Sketchbook 11.14.16

Are you sensing a theme here? White objects photographed in color. It's a conceit I return to often. Why? I'm not entirely sure. I suspect the reasons behind it shift from moment to moment. Currently, these clean, spare images offer a visual respite from the chaotic clutter that surrounds me as we continue to purge and curate our possessions.

Speaking of which, I just unearthed these doodles from February. Not only a nudge to resume my abandoned depiction of Isis; these stitches are also a welcomed reminder of a few magical days spent in the winter woods of New Hampshire last February, gathered with a group of creative, warm, open, and supportive women.

    1. Thanks, Annette! And thanks for stopping by. This sketchbook series was prompted by our conversation about Scum off the Top. So THANK YOU. (Hope I described your term accurately http://oddbirdstudio.blogspot.com/2016/10/sketchbook-103116.html)

    2. Oh how cool! I'm so happy our convo prompted these! & Yes, you quoted me correctly: "Scum off the top." No judgement. Just work like mad and something does emerge.
