Or why some exhibitions only want larger pieces. Obviously, they make a bigger impact, but so do some smaller works in a more intimate way.<br /><br />It seems like at the museum the collectors forum always picks the largest pieces to purchase (even though they may not always be the best choice and we really have no more room in the vault to store them). Small is just as valid.Lisa Flowers Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255748017497273887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-55516742569281338132013-08-05T14:06:07.083-07:002013-08-05T14:06:07.083-07:00I like the detail of the stitches and beads you...I like the detail of the stitches and beads you've created. I find that sometimes, the enjoyment of the process and the feel of various materials in my hands during the making is the most important aspect. <br /><br />Leigh in Portland (we are not burning down)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06372544021604211747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-67561964870255061762013-08-04T08:29:34.496-07:002013-08-04T08:29:34.496-07:00Ah, the gap between process and result.

A very cohesive piece. After working on such large pieces a change of pace seems just right to me.

I like sewing beads. I don't like the finished product. To solve my "problem" I made a few sewing kit types of items and stitched with embroidery and beaded to excess. Crazy quilt meets the future. No one sees them but me and the gals behind the glass doors at the doctor, eye doctor and dentist offices.<br /><br />I have also started using the round beads to make spacers with rolled paper beads. Little bracelets. Fun. We have to have fun, right???Joanne Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623855664379207620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-53886951042943109242013-08-03T04:59:24.629-07:002013-08-03T04:59:24.629-07:00I'm confident that whatever you decide to do w...I'm confident that whatever you decide to do with the beads it will be "you" and excellent. :)Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283575512727062312noreply@blogger.com
