As promised,  I thought I would show you where I am at the moment in my task that I spoke about last post.  I chose three mediums- polymer clay, wire and fabric and have made my “crude” piece and the one that is a couple steps up from crude.  (Still working on the “elegant” (hopefully) piece, so that one I’ll show when finished.)

Even tho the “crude” piece feels slapped together, there is still something free and spontaneous that I like.  The next piece- even tho I put more time and thought into it- feels a little too planned and stilted.

So finding that balace between spontaneous and stilted is the goal for me.  I’d like the third piece to have thoughtful decision-making involved, yet still have a sense of vitality!
