Thread Said
June 2, 2007
I’ve been having lots of ideas for new things to try, and here’s another doodle — I’m calling it the Thread Said series. Don’t know where it’s going though, just playing around. I think it’s important to play, and summer seems like a good time to do it.

This series remind of an Ally McBeal type scenario where the main character is engaging in “polite” conversation while her shadow is doing/thinking/saying what she really feels.
Looks like the start of something good!
My “interest” perked up with the Artist’s Statement piece and now this one. I think you’ve touched on something. Have fun. How big are these trial runs?
These aren’t very big — only about 8″ x 10″ and not fully quilted. Right now I’m playing around with some ideas, and trying to draw some bigger compositions that they could work in.
I am having fun doing sewing machine drawing. I try to do one every day.
Great start…seems very interesting. I agree, its necessary to ‘play’. I recently got interested in ATCs. They are a great format to try techniques and styles with smaller time commitment. I have been able to see some styles, techniques and directions that I might not otherwise have explored.
Can’t wait to see where this takes you.
thanks
LOL That is a great doodle
oh yea, I’m liking ‘thread said.’ Looks like fun and one could fill in their own captions. I’m in love with a new book “all about coffee” by paul madonna, full of GORGEOUS drawings of san francisco, frequently captioned with over heard conversations…
I love the “Thread Said” series. Very fun!
