Is there any sense in making strips, er...I mean, 'scraps' just to keep working on this, or; should I do exactly as I planned from the start and only make the larger pieced configurations from scraps when I have them (the actual scraps, I mean)?
Spent a good part of the day ironing scrap strips from the bag, cutting pieces to length, laying out matching color blocks, and assembling the 'pointed' ends (of the three-part triangles) so that I have a good deal of the grunt work done when I decide to sit and assemble more whole blocks some time in the future.
It just seems somehow sort of incongruous to intentionally begin an unfinished project...don't you think?
But, as I sit and stare at this photo - or the real thing in front of me - I am struck by how child-like it appears. Maybe it would be more appropriate to say 'it puts me in mind of a child's perspective.' It looks very much like an Eric Carle illustration, especially when viewed at a distance. Bold colors; uneven but lovely, large 'brush strokes' of color - as if it had been applied from the palette before completely being mixed and blended.
Thoughts?
