Glad it came on out and set you into relief. A car ride alone has always struck me as a perfectly acceptable place for letting loose screams.<br /><br />The cloth IS pretty... the holes make it so porous and interesting and I agree that there is no 'wrong side' here... <br /><br />I share your sense of the nine patch 'not being mine', but I keep looking at it, letting it creep in, just to play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254503312795252536.post-22543787195664472392013-03-25T19:42:12.210+01:002013-03-25T19:42:12.210+01:00Patty: verging on the brink and not knowing what&#...Patty: verging on the brink and not knowing what's beyond...that is exciting, yes?!<br /><br />Nancy: the slug/finger took me by surprise too....<br />what a great song screaming alone in the 20 mile zone LOL thank you, thank you, there is a BIG smile on my face right now;-)<br /><br />Patricia: I hear you screaming!!!<br />about the backside (on the cloth ha) yes it looks nice, because once I had decided it was going to be two-faced it needed to look good both ways, especially as I want to be able to hang it in a window with the light shining through; what you see on the 'front' was sewn/pieced together and once I started cutting through was when the long strip of beige began to get sewn through as well; I hope this expains it a bit; I love the challenge of it having to be view-able both sides, I have done it in earlier pieces, see under label 'cutting'Saskiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974723368542754165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254503312795252536.post-37122423459377681272013-03-25T03:04:09.916+01:002013-03-25T03:04:09.916+01:00scream away wild woman. and listen for my screami...scream away wild woman. and listen for my screaming reply. i think its great. healthy even.<br />love the circles you cut in your cloth--making circles to counterbalance the squares. and what amazes me the most is how good your cloth looks on the backside. my backside (my cloth backsides) are quite the mess. well,actually my actual backside has seen better days as well.patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03044885094876093512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254503312795252536.post-51261115919539005142013-03-25T00:32:11.490+01:002013-03-25T00:32:11.490+01:00OK...so I'm back with the rest of what I wante...OK...so I'm back with the rest of what I wanted to say.<br />Your screaming in the car took me instantly to an old song by Dory Previn.<br />This is the album my mama had in the 1970's:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHL75L0XYzs<br /><br />But the song I was think of is here:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKVNUyIOE-o<br /><br />This version is not as 'crazy' as Dory's and some of the lyrics were left out.<br />"I said animals roar<br />when they feel like<br />Why can't we do that too<br />Instead of screaming<br />Banzai Baby<br />In the war in the human zoo".<br /><br />Of course I like Dory's haunting version better because that is the one imbedded in my teenaged-time memory.<br /><br />All of the songs have an element of unstable-ness...therapy through song lyrics!<br />I now wonder the impact of countless listening to such music! Ha.<br />If you can find any more of her stuff...or the lyrics...<br />I've got my mom's album here, but no record player anymore :)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185798765137874091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254503312795252536.post-40951853123375826372013-03-24T23:58:47.440+01:002013-03-24T23:58:47.440+01:00That ice is spectacular!
