Ik doe er al dagen over om dit heel kleine werkje af te maken. Het bestaat uit een laag handgeschept papier en twee lagen vilt voor de stevigheid. Het handgeschepte papier heb ik geverfd met acrylverf en daarna bewerkt met stempels. Ik heb het geheel op de machine doorgequilt en bewerkt. Op de een of andere manier wil het maar niet vlotten en ik had het nog graag af willen hebben. Soms ben ik te hard voor mezelf, ik pest mezelf gewoon door iets zo graag af te willen hebben dat het het geheel niet ten goede komt. Het is niet slim, ik weet het….maar ik wil het dan dolgraag uit mijn hoofd hebben en doorgaan met het volgende. Mijn interesse is dan weer al in zoverre verlegd dat de concentratie weg is, vaak komt het omdat ik dan al helemaal weg ben van wat ik nog meer onder handen heb. Heel gevaarlijk….
I am working for days on this little piece and it still isn’t finished. It contains hand shaped paper and two layers of felt so it is very firm. The hand shaped paper have I painted with acrylic paint and after that stamped. I have quilted the whole piece by machine and embellished it. One way or another it won’t finish and I wanted to finish it this week. Sometimes I am very hard for myself; I am teasing myself by wanting to finish something so badly that it doesn’t do justice at the whole thing. That is not the right way, I know…. but I want to get it out of my head sometimes so I can go on to the next thing. My interest is than already gone to the next piece, where I am working on and where I am quiet exiting about. Very dangerous….

Often I feel the same - but your work is very good.
I know just what you mean. I think we are all guilty of this. And sometimes I get impatient waiting for things to dry or whatever and can't stop fiddling and poking :)
This little piece is looking very good already. Are the couple in the photo related to you?
Hi Jacqueline, I think it's the first time I comment on your blog but I've been reading it for a while.
I know the feeling of wanting to move on to the next piece too. Lately I've been working on several parallel pieces and I actually found that to be very helpful. When I get distracted I just put that piece away and start to work on something else instead.
Hi Jacqueline - another fascinating piece. Your work always makes me wish I could feel it and see it "for real"! Love the colour and the effect of the underlying text stamps. Debbi B
This is a great looking piece.
The bronze colour is gorgeous - looking great!!!
