Seeking Inspiration


After an early start, I'm finding myself at pretty much of a standstill. So I thought I'd look through some older, unfinished pieces and see if I could get moving...I found these two hands from a couple of years back and they seem a good metaphor for my life right now as I'm reaching for peace and good health and more sun and most of all, for more time. Neither one will do for this month's bjp so I'll have to find the right fabric and make another one for now...

I always enjoy art with hands. Hands are so revealing and what you have done is just as revealing as a line drawing. I hope that you can take it further, as you expressed. This looks exciting!

Maybe, just maybe, a new background color could be considered rather than a different fabric for the hand(s)... It seems that the colors of these hands are soft and gentle... maybe, just maybe soft and gentle are good for you right now?????

I look forward to following this one, Bobbi!

Your dunes photo will be in the mail to you tomorrow.

Love n hugs, Robin

thanks, pat...they're certainly images I've used many, many times over the years.

thanks, robin...this time it was easier to express my feeling by going with another hand, but I'm definitely using the last two in other pieces...

thanks, kathy.

These beaded hands are beautiful, Bobbi! I can see why you chose a different fabric, but will look forward to seeing you use these hands in another piece. Keep reaching...keep embracing!
