Oh the bliss of mark making! Making vessels gave me so much freedom to create without intention.

Originally, I spotted a crumpled old quilt in a pile at a garage sale. I inquire about it, and offered $2 for what they were giving to me for free. The next thing I did was pack up some ink and painting supplies and my dog Piper, and we headed down to the beach. The wind blowing the fabric around, so I held it down with whatever was around while I dripped and splashed color onto the quilt. Moments like this makes me feel a child.

After washing the cloth, I tore it apart to see how the marks would provoke inspiration, thus becoming vessels that were layered and stitched. Rusty items, peacock feathers and beads were added as finishing touches.

Creativity for me, is an investment into my soul!
