This year’s journal challenge has become a chore rather than a pleasure. I think this is because apart forth consistent size, I have not set myself a theme, but have just made any old thing that chimes with larger projects I have on the go. A lesson to pay attention to I think for next year, if I take part.
September, corny
Inspired by a drawing of a corn cob. Hand dyed cloth, highlighted with bronze fabric paint, appliqué, embroidery, machine quilting. A bit squat for a corn cob, but with a squinted eye, could be interpreted as such.
Yes, at this point the JQs do become a chore. I agree that having a theme or some other kind of self-set limitation makes it easier, or at least engages the warrior spirit as we seek to find solutions. The new challenge for 2016 could be a whole new ball game?
ReplyDeleteI love the detail of the silks on this corn cob. Interesting that not having a theme is making it more of a chore - hope that you can find a suitable theme for next year if you want to continue them!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a corn on the cob. Sorry you're not enjoying it 😕
