Multi-tasking

Catching up on Sherlock Holmes Season One, while having dinner, now tea, while sewing strips of fabric onto squares of fabric, while admiring the brilliance of the story lines and the fabulous filming.

I’d probably be getting more sewing done if Sherlock wasn’t so good. OK, and handsome.

Reading! From the quote box

Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one’s hand. — Ezra Pound

The Real Thing

From the Quote Box:

The mind can be a noisy and cluttered place that can drown out the heart. Sifting through a maze of standards and frameworks for the visual arts could add to the noise and distract from the experience. Beginning with the rules or the words to create the art can lead to a dead end and muddy the search for what genuinely touches the artist. It’s easy to get caught up in the verbiage trying to get it right. I offer this caution as a reminder that making and creating **are** the real thing, the words that describe them are secondary. — Corita Kent’s Rules & Hints for Students and Teachers
