Cracker crumbs

Love this.

i. IN GENERAL

- Need to get back into a routine. Need to start doing stuff again.

1. FIBERS

- Just made another napkin, need to get more fabric again.

- Made a makeshift curtain which has a nice look to it.

- Will start the new quilt soon. I want it to be not as small and piece-y as the other two, although I still want to do an invaders quilt. I want something NOW, to cover a comforter maybe. Something with larger patches of fabric.

- Need a lunch cloth that holds the new lunchbox.

2. DRAWINGS

- I need to just start some stuff for the portfolio. Ideas lately: reaction to Benazir Bhutto, puzzle piece mind/person, flaky friends and what I do to try and be with them, world vs. gamer, my problems with the church,

- The boring landscape plus all the things that don’t make it better (i.e., my remedy for internet shopping).

- I always lose myself in the world of the cats. (Is this a drawing or a painting?)

- Posters. Posters, posters, posters.

- Think about ink pen again, since that’s the only thing Mark seemed to really dig. Approach the sketch-style in other things?

3. PAINTINGS

- collage paintings, like what I saw in the museum in Eugene. Fabric or paper plus the paint. Some sort of portrait series?

- finish the street dancers, ducks.

- The dancer’s perspective? (part 3 of 3)

4. BOOKS

- Figure out slide book — dk. paper with green gouache? Simple, maybe. But that simple?

- Initially I was thinking the “pack up” book would be all line drawings and no color, but actually I think it’d be a chance to get some good rich color theory in there. Distracting colors, depressing dank colors, happy simply color pallet in the end. [I need more ideas here anyway, story-wise]

- Also been thinking again about “I can’t do [x]“/ “you can do [y(+n)]!”
