The end is beginning to be in sight

Lord, I am so sick of doing rows of pins for Scatter that I could just scream. So what's a girl to do but start a brand new pin piece called Quiver. It's so easy compared to doing Scatter and Pin Ritual that I am madly in love with it, plus it looks lush. I am jamming the pins right through the material from one side to the other and I love the way they fall and the way they move, hence the name. And it's so quick, quick, quick. I like quick.



Quiver

I love this bleached out over-flashed image of Quiver, it's like a drawing.

I probably need to do at least another 10 rows or so on Scatter but wild horses couldn't make me do it tonight. Anyway, I have to decide whether I'm going to go right to the very top - a problem because the rows aren't straight and I will end up with empty bits at the side, which might look super crap - or if I leave about 10 cms, which will probably look better but might seem slightly unfinished. I am veering towards the later right now but I want to make a decision with a clear head tomorrow morning not now when I am grumpy and tired and really sick of looking at it.

Right now I am going to have a cup of tea, watch some cheesy TV and randomly pin Quiver and unwind before bed.

I have framed the three prints I needed to do. I ended up having to go out to Hobbycraft yet again for glazier points (that's what the little things I'd lost are actually called). So annoying as I was just there yesterday and if I'd known that I wouldn't be able to find the points I already have I would have just bought more then. But that's not the way things go, is it.

So now I have 7 prints altogether, two of which already belong to happyuncledave but I'm going to show them anyway now that I don't have the stupid gesso panels (gesso panels, what was I thinking?) I may have more stuff because I have a couple of other pin drawings somewhere if I can just find them and who knows what further insanity tomorrow may bring. I have three frames that I could fill, so some last minute drawing might happen. Or I could exhibit hitherto unsuspected sanity and just not drive myself nuts at the last minute. ('Remember The Lesson Of The Gesso Panels, young Grasshopper')

I am typing this with Quiver over my head, I look like some kind of mutant bride. The pins are hanging in front of my face and I've been stroking them like a beard. This is the sort of strange way that my performances usually start, with a really odd movement that I feel compelled to do. I am a nut..
