| Hot off the loom - A shawl width piece of cloth with multicolored yarn. |
1. One of my favorite things to do is research
a topic in Wikipedia, then click on a link in the article and go read
that article, click on a link in the next article, etc. I've discovered
all sorts of interesting things that way, picked up ideas for poems and
stories, and also procrastinated time away. Use with caution.
2. I've always known I'm more of a process artist
than a product artist, and weaving really brings that home. I love the
plotting out of the woven item, the hemstitching at the beginning, the
simple act of weaving. But by the time I'm within a foot from the end, I
want nothing more than to get it off the loom and move on to planning
my next project. How about you? Process or End Product?
3. Is it something in the air? Ideas are
percolating up like soda bubbles. Me, me, me, no, ME. Of course I
then have to prioritize - not my strong point. I think the muse just got
back from vacation and is still a bit giddy. Any thoughts on
prioritizing ideas?
4. For some reason I decided I need a netbook.
Probably because I'm too lazy to return to my computer in the living
room after I hit the bedroom. Sometimes the words come faster than my
ability to handwrite them down. I type much faster. Someone suggested
an iPad. Yeah or nay? Advantages? Would I like it? Netbook - good idea
or not?
5. I realized the other day I never outgrew the
notion that the answers to all things are contained in books. I suppose
the modern day version of this is the Internet is all knowing. But I
still find myself shopping Amazon and other places for the perfect book
to scratch that existential itch.
