keep moving things,  taking some from one and giving it to the other.  i know it might not look like much, but it's really intense.  i might go crazy.

    I see such a unified whole now with the addition of those leaf-arcs… and I’m starting to see concentric circles there – like tree rings or water ripples.. or spiral drawings 🙂 (maybe cause I’m programmed to).
    Anyway, I hear you… this is a big undertaking and I understand the feeling that you might go crazy, though I hope you don’t.

    Grace,
    watching your beautiful piece developing is awesome!
    How do you manage to get such a big and fantastic piece together?
    I seriously try – but always end up with a tiny piece the size of a postcard ( sometimes the bigger ones, the more expensive ones….)
    Love to see the piece on the wall – paricularly love the right part of the “magic cloth”.
    My heart is still in California ( and my inner clock, too),
    wish you a great Monday evening,
    eva

    What a great solution: the dark stripe gets more light colored by the light brown and the yellow piece. This yellow correspond with the moons ..I can see balance.
    I can understand that you cannot stop, it is so fascinating but before getting crazy please take a break…

    Looking at your work now I remember a thing I liked to do as a kid. There where two pictures which seemed to be equal but there were some differences and you have to find it out. I compare your photos and I see what you have changed that´s exciting …

    well, if you do go crazy, it will be an amazing way to go.
    looking over and over the last few posts, i feel i am watching time move. you can’t see it happening, but you know that it is…and without realizing it, you are in a whole new day- where the very same moon and sun look completely different, but aren’t, and are.
    (maybe this is just stuffed up head thinking?)

    I am not laughing at you, I am laughing with you! If I moved furniture around as much as I move cloth, my husband and I would need new backs. I am really enjoying watching your process. You will know when the pieces are in the spot you want, just listen.:D
