aha moments ....


to live a creative life one must lose the fear of being wrong .... Freedom!

[this was messaged to me this morning and I love it.]

"Focus"
original pen and ink
a Kimberly design
I could draw like this for endless hours ...
and be completely focused.

Then this happened!
Besides loving to draw, I love to
render in thread.

When I create a stitched design for
reproduction ...
there are rules that must be followed.

Every stitch has to be well thought out
as I'm going to have to translate it
to another stitcher on paper with words and graphs.

As I keep creating these 'wild things' ...
your interest grows
AND
I'm hoping that eventually ...
I can convince several of you to
lose the fear of being wrong ....
then you can join me
for a workshop to really learn freedom.

"Center" and "Focus"

A friend thought these to be huge ...
nope, I'd never get them finished!

In this body of work will all be
five inches square.

I think I'll call this ...
"Sea"
