As we slid into spring this year, I felt pulled to return to my Feelings Series. When I stepped away from creating feelings out of fiber (although that never really stopped – everything I create comes from my feelings), I’d paused the series on an anabolic emotion – Joy. My pattern is to alternate between anabolic and catabolic feelings, so this meant my next piece needed to reflect lower energy.
“Weary” was chosen.
This piece started out larger in design and shape. As I worked my way through the stitching phase (the longest part of my process), I realized it was making me weary trying to figure out how to hang it without the lower portion flopping off the wall. In a move I’ve never made, I sliced the piece in half, then overlaid the two sections to create a more cohesive work of art.
I love the end result much more than the initial design.
Weary represents woman, weighed down by society and the work it takes to be seen and heard. May women continue to lift each other up so we feel less weary, less worn, and more connected to all of humanity and our blessed planet.
(Feeling) Weary
Hand painted with acrylic paint on commercial fabric, raw edge fused applique, densely machine stitched.
With joy and ease…
Come back and visit again one day soon — I’ll have a new Feeling to share. It’s time to tap into my Intuition. See you then!
