part of the reason I dislike playing competitive online video games, is that if you suck at the game (are a beginner and unskilled) you pretty much can't play. You join a match and if you mess up and get killed because of said lack of skill or maybe overwhelm at all the numbers, stats, and motion, you are taken out of the match and you don't get to play anymore. You are punished for being unskilled, and if you try to pick up your controller and try again but can't play longer than a couple of minutes per match because you Keep Dying, it's very difficult to build that skill.

comparing this to the forms of art I choose to partake in, where no matter what I do or how skilled I am there will always be someone better and worse at it than me...I am not prevented from participating because I am unskilled. It's still up to me to pick up my tools and try again after a disastrous failure, and of course there are outside negative influences on how I perceive my work and its worth, but I'm not kicked out of Spinning Yarn whenever my thread breaks and forced to wait and watch everyone else be good at it until I'm allowed to join again. It's up to me to overcome that gap in skill.

designs i’m thinking about now that i’m done with the twin peaks sampler

1. sampler of fish and other aquatic life- i’ve been very inspired by the tambour embroidery artist who is beading a bunch of fish for a dress

2. iconic quotes of john waters films done in some sort of unique way- im having visions of a spiral? is that something? idk we’ll let that idea simmer

3. a small wall hanging for the kitchen that says “an egg for these trying times”- easy breezy from my favorite show

Decided i wanted to make a shawl for myself with some marino wool i have. This pattern spoke to me so I'm working on it now. I've finished a lot of crochet projects but I'm bad about frogging knit projects so I'm determined to make it for myself.

It is mounted finally because it needed to be done by like Tuesday.

This is why! I was accepted and will be having that piece of lace as part of this exhibition. If you are interested in coming to the artist reception and in the area, come find me and say hi!

This time i will finish this piece, busted hand or not!
