one of the things i love best about maturing as a crafts person
is the understanding you gain about yourself
and how you relate to others.

which is naturally also the insight you gain
as a maturing person,
with the application of different materials
but not necessarily different methods.
A very insightful thought.
ReplyDeleteThere is one very important thing about maturing and relating to people that I have learned; you are a much happier person when you are able to eliminate from your life the people that do not make you feel good about yourself.
I love your fiber work. A sure sign that you have found your truth.

MJ - the offerings that others have given me over time has been part of that maturing. I notice also how the detail or fragments of work take on greater meaning and importance. B
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely pieces M-J; showing the sensitivity and delicacy your metal works always did. Is that a hint of Habu I see???? they seem light as leaves...
ReplyDeleteYes. You've stated this so eloquently. It's good to have you back.
ReplyDeleteyour work is ethereal. I would think Tolkien's elves would be pleased to wear your creations. xx
ReplyDeleteYou are ever evolving, and always vibrant. It's wonderful to see you slip so easily into another medium. I agree, my artistic journey has mostly consisted of learning about myself, while picking up some knowledge about materials and techniques along the way. Your journey is beautiful, as are you.
ReplyDeleteMary Jane- your life has taken such a turnaround in relation to your crafting passions-- your newest style is so beautiful and unique-- just what we would all expect from you. I love the way you create from such amazing fibers-- I'm in love with your leaves :)

I think it is the mark of a true artist that they can move seamlessly from one medium to another-- we just have to understand that it's a gift from the Universe to be nudged from one thing to another, rather than a trial. But it takes a really big person to get that and you are one of the rare ones who does.
