The Summer of '10

I have all the photos picked & cut out for my quilt project, which you see in the post below. I feel so happy. Any step toward completion is a mini-surprise. Like, 'Oh, you're still going on this? Good for you!' 'Still haven't lost interest? Huh. Cool, that's great.' I will post another in-progress picture when I paste them on the board... God willing.

Oh, right, so I got this last batch of 7 B&W pictures of women artists (or subjects of artists) from a publication of the UC Berkeley Art Museum. [There was this wild video exhibit there I highly recommend. Weird. Like watching a train wreck right itself, kind of.] And so I got this publication and it's printed on that great better-&-thicker-than-newsprint kind of paper that I love to touch, cut & paste.

I can appreciate that my projects require the sort of surprise!found objects that take time to aquire. Decorating my bedroom was like that. So many small purchases so few and far between. And I LOVE the results! Now when I look at this motivational quilt (so much better than a motivational speech, I say) I will always think back to my great day wandering Berkeley in the summer of '10.
