It seems that the more repetitive a stage I am at in one piece, like this stitching process, the more widely and wildly my my imagination soars. The idea generation is wonderful but you're right about the tension that builds to be peddling a stationary cycle while my mind is doing a Lance Armstrong Tour de France marathon!! I start with calmness and being present but that leads to even more flows of ideas. I must work until I'm 100 or start hiring assistants! Let's dialogue about this more. What is your process like?Jeanne Raffer Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080286350374492967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340855682127988960.post-52138403528890028112010-03-06T06:28:35.052-08:002010-03-06T06:28:35.052-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jeanne Raffer Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080286350374492967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340855682127988960.post-86052178787262615892010-03-06T06:16:31.580-08:002010-03-06T06:16:31.580-08:00Reading about your studio rhythm is very meaningfu...Reading about your studio rhythm is very meaningful. It is so different from what I have been practicing for years. I'm speaking of the actual process of creating the various elements for your work. It seems to have a build in lapse which can be viewed as either allowing you to process what you have done or go crazy wanting to push forward. I am loving your elements and look forward to seeing them all together.Terry Jarrard-Dimondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709683518897702916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340855682127988960.post-33423192611660839952010-03-05T07:51:41.483-08:002010-03-05T07:51:41.483-08:00Oh yes THOSE potholes...I bumped over a few of tho...Oh yes THOSE potholes...I bumped over a few of those yesterday, Nikki.

My head likes to think (!) it knows what's going on, but really its role is to decode and translate into words the truths of my heart. Inevitably, as soon as I make the mistake of leading with my head I find myself zooming into every dead end and blind ally imaginable. And then of course, I have to avoid all the difficult, beating-myself-up-for-it, pot holes as I back out again!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05944872207154537867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340855682127988960.post-67570989220635661362010-03-04T04:46:58.762-08:002010-03-04T04:46:58.762-08:00Thank you Laura and Leslie.

It seems that when our hearts lead, we feel that powerful inner energy; when our heads take over, we begin to flail. When the two harmonize and complement each other, now THAT'S a team.Jeanne Raffer Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080286350374492967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340855682127988960.post-48517670258101498182010-03-03T19:48:16.174-08:002010-03-03T19:48:16.174-08:00Your creative energy is very powerful Jeanne.

I have been told more than once that when I have a really "good" piece it seems to have come from within...I'd say my "heart" saw rather than my eyes! <br /><br />I really like the gold/sienna letters - they look very rich - also like the "3d" black/grey - they look like they are actually moving - I think these dimensional letters will add a great deal to the over all feel of your pieces. It is as if the "words" are taking on a whole life of their own - very exciting to see this progression.Laura Ann Beehlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980866969698327194noreply@blogger.com
