Slow Stitching Sunday
This floofy book page is feeling like a bit of a disjointed mess to me. These pages are meant to be slow stitching fun. And they are, for sure. But when I am not liking the way a page looks then what? Do I call it finished and move on? I sort of want to do that but I hate not finishing something. It doesn't feel finished if I don't like it!
I can wait until I stitch it into the scroll and then add to it. I can put it to the bottom of the pile and revisit it at some point. Both of those options are delaying a decision. Sometimes that is what needs to be done. I am okay with that. There are other things that can I do in the meantime. What a delight to have so many lovely stitching projects!

I often find that something I have stitched or written will look/feel very different after some time. I think part of the creative process is to leave things to 'mature'. We can't have 100% inspiration and solutions 100% of the time.
ReplyDeleteI suggest you put this piece at the bottom of the pile and let it brew for a few weeks. I am sure you have plenty to do in between.
I am a big fan of waiting! Sometimes when you come back to a project, you wonder what it was that you didn't like before!
ReplyDeleteI'm a throw as much as I can at a project until it grows on me. It is such nice colours it seems a shame to abandon it!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of the piece, no matter what you do with it! Good luck
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I am quite certain there are a lot of other pretties you have to work on and enjoy some slow stitching. Let this one sit for a bit if you are unsure.

ReplyDeleteHi Angela, sometimes all it needs is a time-out. You can always add or cover up things later! Take care.
