And another...

This one was from June 2:

Last week I asked if you like to dream big. This week, my question is about curiosity. Are you the type of person who wants to try every new technique you see, or wait for someone else to be the guinea pig and learn from them? 😂 Either way, you are in the right place here! I love to be the guinea pig and try everything, and then I love to pass on what I've learned. Hopefully I can save you some time in your experimenting, but I also hope to encourage you to do more on your own too! Curiosity is also a big part of designing art quilts. I tend to notice things regular people don't, like if a flower I see often is a slightly different shade than usual, for example. (I don't, however, notice things like dishes needing to be done... 👀) Do you tend to notice things like designs in the frost on the window, or like the bright green in my photo below? That's my challenge for this week, try to notice little things that you normally don't! You have to slow down a little though... the first rock picture looks like they are all gray, but if you look closer, they're definitely not! And maybe think about how you might use something you see in a design 😃
     It's a good thing my husband doesn't usually mind stopping for a lot of photos in the car or RV, because I am constantly seeing things on the side of the road! I do try to exercise a little restraint, but I still stop a lot for pictures 😂 I got a really great idea for another collage kit on our recent trip though! We went to Tok and Chicken, and got to see the great gift shop in Chicken that carries my products. It's definitely remote, but I loved the drive in the mountains, and now I'm reading the book Tisha again, which took place there. Maxwell the dog had a rough first day, but after that (and a few doses of Benadryl😛) he did great! 
​Happy sewing! Beret
