My Creativity Resolution

I will suspend the rules in order to explore
I will explore in order to play
I will play in order to create pieces that express myself
to venture beyond what I have been taught
to open doors I did not know were there
to immerse myself in color and form
to cross over, to prod, to swerve, to jump
where white is not white
where black is not black
where even gray is purple

Super Alex

When I was at the Stash Sister's hook in, I bought a punch needle for Alexander. I thought that punching would be easier and more fun for him than hooking loops of wool. Today I finally got around to transferring his drawing of "Super Alex" onto the monk's cloth for him and stitching the fabric to an old frame. He has picked out some yarn and is ready to go. After this picture was taken, he outlined the face in black and hooked one of the eyes in blue.

"Super Alex" is himself as a superhero. He appears to have picked the heart as his symbol and has told me that the eyes shoot red lasers.
