It felt good to sit down and get my hand moving again.
Whenever I need to begin again and feel my way, it's good to sit down, touch things, tidy things, put some things away, pull some things out, and wait to see what happens.
I sat at my wee desk-studio space and made some postcards out of some left over prints. I also found three strips I had left over, cut from something else last time, and put them together to make a book mark. Nothing earth-shattering or brilliant, but getting back in the groove of putting things together and making stuff.
We visited the gallery at the North Coast Visitor Centre last week and there was a vibrant showing by young people from the area. I was particularly taken with these glorious wings, with over 500 young people participating.
Everything about this post feels both soothing and settling - the lambs, spring flowers, a quiet re-entry, a transition from there to here. Your postcards and the bookmark are wonderful. I love to make bookmarks, such a simple thing but I think when they're handmade they are also a delight to use.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jillayne, it has been a gentle transition this time and without too much pressure it feels like there is time to walk and look slowly; to pick things up and put them down again; and to put this and that together and see what happens. Nothing earth shattering just gentle life and making moments.
