I am not sure where from within me this woman and child and the images are coming from, but I am not questioning it for a second. I am loving this process and the absolute joy I am experiencing as these delicate women come to life. I am using very, very fine pointed ink to draw the woman and the designs onto white cotton fabric. Although I feel totally uninhibited about what is coming out of me, it is balanced by the tiny designs and my knowledge that what comes out onto the fabric is permanent! There is no erasing ink, at least not the ink I am using. So, there is a tension that I also feel that keeps me immensely focused. I continuously think about how I will quilt this eventually and for now my thoughts are that the quilting with be very simple. The first image below is the full view to date and I have included lots of details. Also, my husband got a picture of me working up close and you can see just how small the nib is on the pen and how close I get to the actual work.
