What a week.

Indispersed throughout the week I have been clearing up, packing away and reloading my work areas downstairs for the next few projects I have planned.

I need to start on my submissions for twentyONE+ but whilst I am in Laminex mode I would really like to try to get some of these off table, out of my head, and onto the wall.

I have three strong works that I would like to construct for twentyONE+ so I can then choose the two strongest.

AND
I have three other works, continuing the thought lines of Feathering the Nest,#2.
It is these that I want to tackle first.
They are ‘lesser works’ in size but the concepts behind all six are similar.

is this the start of feathering #3?

AS WELL
I still have weeks of computer work to get through but, like I did a few weeks ago, I think I may just need to go AWOL again very soon and burrow into the downstairs part of my studio.
I have a strong need for a stitch binge again.
