Figurative Sweep

I have a new project on the horizon but first the almost finish to this previously shown head.

fs_1

Here he/she is body and all. I’m not exactly sure how he/she will be adorned yet but I didn’t want to leave him/her body-less for too long.

fs_2

I still have intentions of completing a couple of more involved projects snippets of which can be seen here but then an IDEA came to me involving this:

fs_3

I suppose I should clarify by saying I have decided to push the others back in the queue while I pursue this inspiration – or that’s the current plan anyway. Sometime my ideas come in fits and starts, and then sometimes in a HUMONGOUS wave. Then I have to act. I have to do a figurative sweep of my arm across my table and start anew.

fs_4

I look and think and PONDER and try to determine where it is I should begin. I might have twenty ideas for that one piece and I know I won’t be able to pursue them all. When and where I begin will be the start of its evolution rather than the start of its completion – because inevitably the beginning will take me down an unknown path. While I will still have my original goal in mind, the work, as it gets underway, will reveal not previously considered options.

fs_5

Each choice will affect the direction of the idea. Hopefully when I am finished, it will have some semblance of the original plan – TUCKED away in the heart of it all. And hopefully, when I am finished, it will not be a wasted effort.

    1. Hi Mrs. Graceworks,

      Thank you for your comment. It might very well be a "he". I must determine that soon.

      I am looking forward to seeing the box come together myself!

  4. Oh man, are we glad you found that poor head a body and limbs before you swept, that could have been quite the crisis!

    1. Hi Katy,

      Not only that I can see the bears having a rebellion. I can only imagine what that would look like!

    1. Hi Love Bears All Things!

      Thank you so much! I do like the fur too - it's relatively new in my stack and I enjoyed working with it.

      As for what's going on in my mind when I look at the box - I see things that aren't there.....yet! :D

      Thanks so much for stopping by!

  7. My, what a relief, the bear has a body. You have no idea how worrited I was. I kept saying to Alan, "I wonder if ginger has given that bear a body?" He said that I was not to worry, but sometimes a bear can't help it. Louie said, "He'll be alraight, ma friend Sebastian will see to that." So, I suspect Sebastian told you to get on with it, and you did. Well done Sebastian.
    Hugs,
    Jock, Louie and the hug

    1. Hi Jock, Louie and the hug,

      Yes, I knew it was bothering you a big there Jock and Sebastian kept saying, "You know you have Jock, my good ol' friend, worried, don't you?" And then I had to get going so Sebastian would stop pestering me. So, yes, you can give the credit to Sebastian. It would be nice if he could prod me along without a mouthful of snack though....

    1. Hi Bonnie,

      Yes this is how those crazy, winding, loopy projects begin sometimes. Sometimes it's more a matter of faith in the end than it is faith in the vision.

      Thanks so much!
