She was all over the place and had a bloody good time with whatever she was doing. Lately, I've seen the same thing from Kiki Smith - so inspirational!

I'm pleased to say I've actually been doing some sewing - hand and machine.

I had a vision similar to yours years and years ago, so I can really relate to this.<br />I wonder why it is that we think we need to keep our creativity focussed in 'one' direction, instead of letting it flow where it wants to go...stregatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573668708723922929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641979920283745008.post-9664455155456004182012-07-22T20:30:35.946-04:002012-07-22T20:30:35.946-04:00i love the tattoo design - and how it relates to y...i love the tattoo design - and how it relates to your vision... i have a similar looking one - but it has a thai background... spirals are so universal - which is beautiful... i agree about something to ground the bottom of the staff... good luck with it... it's a beautiful spot... now that there is 'real' ink in the house, my expenditure on henna has been eliminated! <br />go with the flow and get out of your own way - something i tell myself daily... <br />the veggies look delish - enjoy!mairedoddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01518352870828784085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641979920283745008.post-82302498070001275652012-07-22T13:20:56.805-04:002012-07-22T13:20:56.805-04:00I ummed and ahhed about my first tattoo for ages a...I ummed and ahhed about my first tattoo for ages and ages. Finally I had made a decision, it was going to be a winged hourglass with 'tempus fugit' in a banner...I made sketches...finalised details...then 3 hours before the chair I hit upon a completely different design...a needle and thread. And that's what I have now, and though it symbolises many things to me, I look at it every day and remind myself where my strengths lie and how much I can do with so little. Tattoos are wonderful like that. <br /><br />And don't feel bad about your fear of stitchery. For me it's soldering. It's easy, I have all the stuff, I know what to do and I know it will give me a look I need in my new pieces. But I resist, without knowing why.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552220520085713818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641979920283745008.post-27777954651875508032012-07-22T12:51:01.922-04:002012-07-22T12:51:01.922-04:00I love the tattoo design, and what a good idea to ...I love the tattoo design, and what a good idea to try it out temporarily first.
