It has been a while since I have last updated the progress of my current project. The last time I completed the first square. Down below is the compeletion of the second square.
Ahhhh, the lovely background framing that is my rug. Doesn't it just add a wonderful touch to the pictures? Originally, I was going to have four squares and combine them together so I had one big blanket. However, I changed my mind, yet again, to just sticking with the two squares that I had. When I combined them, I had a rectangular shape and a way to work the border.
The next picture has the borders that I added and trust me, it took a while. Like a couple weeks with my work schedule. At first I wanted to have solid colors, but I ran out of yarn and had to used what I had. Now later, when there was a sale, I went out and bought more Impeccable Impeccable to complete the frills of the blanket. And at first I didn't like my choice of colors, but looking at it for a while and asking for my sisters opinions, I realized that it was coming along nicely. As an artist, I always second guess my work because it doesn't end the way I want it too or I might worry about what others think. Then the thought, Just create, someone will love it, comes into my mind and sure enough, it puts me at ease. In fact, I fall in love with my art work. I don't fall in love with it during the process because its incomplete and I don't see a whole picture. When I'm done, however, and I take a step back to look at what my hands and indecision has created, I look to see the good in my art. For me, after all the frustrating relationship symptoms, I find that at the end, I either accept it or love it.
And I love it.
And I love it.
