Playing with a pattern that tries illustrate the process of organization and focus.
You might notice I am getting nowhere.
I thought this might be a good start to fracturing the sense of order instead?

My Round and Round It Goes piece is mentioned in a review in the Columbus Dispatch (click here)
A little bit of press gets me inspired to do a lot more work.
disappear into pattern
It's a glorious cool day with breezes that define hope for rain. The sky hurts my eyes with its blue. Escaping into patternmaking is an easy way to pursue the muse.

universal pattern
What is it? This is a high contrast graphic I created by scanning in a catalpa leaf and playing with the contrast and color. To my surprise as I zoomed in to the 600 DPI image I found this city scape of interconnected roads and arteries. I need to learn to stitch like this, it is a universal pattern.
malaise
I'm an impatient sort -- always looking for the next jolt. That's why this period is frustrating. I can't focus on my work, I can't feel accomplishment doing the mundane chores of life. I am floundering.
Most who know me counsel patience. Not my strong suit.
So now I flounder, flopping with a jittery bend.
