Only 23 more rows to knot and weave (plus, there's the 15-20 cm of plain weaving). On a "good" day, I can do 5 rows, working around all the little intrusive household and family obligations. It can be annoying having to eat.
Now I feel bad for using the word "intrusive". When I'm trying to stay in the flow, everything feels intrusive, as it can be difficult for me to even get into the flow in the first place.
Kids, don't be an anxious person. It's a bummer for being productive.
There was a documentary about a turn-of-the-century Swedish artist on the tv, full of experts singing his praises. Don't get me wrong, he was talented and had a lovely vision. But there's only so much I can take of the unexamined juxtaposition of "he could spend 16 hours in the studio" and "he didn't think women could be artists and actively spoke against them" with "he had eight kids, left everything to his wife, and relied on her opinion as to if his paintings were finished".
I like the idea of #PortfolioDay. It has a huge range of skills and techniques on display! Here's my contribution: I'm a visual artist who specialises in #AbstractPainting, #PortraitPainting, and #Taideryijy (art woven wall hangings also known as #rya). I'm currently working on #FirePaintings for an upcoming solo exhibition in Oulu, Finland. Oh, I also like to paint cats, microscopic single-cell creatures, and landscapes.
