“Select a few pieces that keep catching your eye” … oh, well of course they were in the box that I put back up yesterday. But they were also well-worth getting back down …
The patchplay-like squares, the scallop shells, the needles splayed on a wanna-be nine-patch, the edge trim from a bandanna label (a gift from Don, it reads “Hell yeah” in one corner), and the waxing crescent painted with Inktense blocks and cut with my nifty circle cutter …
The last bit of RIPE-ness just called to be included, new to me though it was … its letters echoing the last four letters of “Inspire.”
The exclamation point and “ideas” serendipitously placed … really, it all just fell together … more than ready to go after waiting in the wings.

love that ripe was spontaneous. I saw it and inspire and presumed it was your word-loving eye having some fun possibly for days now. It’s interesting how much our spontaneous inclusions come to rhyme so well with more deliberate composition process. Both sides of our brain becoming more ambidextrous in this kind of immersive experience.

There’s the word “composition” again … something I’ve never felt comfortable with, now becoming safer

Fantastic! So much life and color here! The circle cutter looks like fun and a bandana that says Hell yeah! Cool. I love seeing your fun times.

They certainly are more enjoyable to write about, too

LA – no doubt about it it does look like so much fun – ideas and colour. I spent a solid day in the studio on Friday doing a linocut – best time out for some time. Go well. B

How great is it that “time out” is best spent creating
