I met a friend at the door Friday morning with this declaration,
"My house is not clean. Keep your shoes on; I have not vacuumed. And, there are dirty dishes in the sink."
She responded,
"I don't care. I want to make stuff."
And that's how it goes, this emergency art time.
Our Ladies Friday Art has suffered a bit under the weight of Life (with a capital 'L'.)
It turns out, we are busy women.
And that busyness is both why we need time to ourselves to create, and why it is so difficult to find that time.
So, despite the Book Fair wrapping up yesterday, and despite the clutter, we spent 3 1/2 hours altering fabric with bleach pens, fabric pens, and paints. And damn it, it was good.
