Yarn frustration

Create os recreate or what??
Sometimes things don't seem to go according a plan. According my plan. It is easy to throw it out, recreate, cut into small peaces... but it is a crochet.
And this piece just  that doesn't want to be altered, upcycled or recreated... but I love the material so much, that I don't have a nerve to trash it.

So what's gonna be now?
Frustrating...

I have to go back to basics. I have to follow my yarn back to the beginning... :-(

Dear reader, would you help me? At the top of my frustration I don't find the proper expression in the dictionary: What is the word for  when you want to ruin the crochet? (Not atomic level... I want to keep the yarn for a future project,  he-he-he)

Until a few years crochet for me was about 'dull table covers'. Tiny hooks and eyes you know those small round  ones you put into the china cabinet. I wondered the huge work... BUT ... they were a bit colorless for me. And a few weeks ago when I saw ArtMind's blanket I thought... wow, this is a different approach to crochet and I LOVE, LOVE this approach. Since then I find wonderful and colorful crocheted garments and patterns and my enthusiasm is growing big.

How about freestyle crochet? Wow. Yummie.

There is a collection of  Flickr Favorites here at ArtMind's. Have a look! Have fun!

Cactus Monday

               This is a small journal page I drew as I had  looked through my cactus photos.
               It was hard to look into the flowers' heads they were so shy.


               More cactuses are here at Terri's Cactus Monday.

My Creative Space-Illustration

This week is about illustration. 

I plan to collect piles of big and small drawings and paintings for a future book.

Half of this future book is ready - I mean the text side.

So I want to draw and paint illustrations like these above.

70 or a little bit more are needed...

Oh, my God!

It is huge...

Mixed Media

Mixed Media Experiment on paper

Acrylic, embossed paper, ink

(24x32 cm)

I spent a creative week at a magical place and I painted a few experimental pictures.
I was suggested to title this one: Blacks of a Spirit
Well?
I don't know.
This title is a bit murky...
