tad 2011-12, -13, -14: Drawing; still blank.

I co-hosted a make-after-noon with Cakesface yesterday and was certainly productive enough to count for 3 days (right? right?!). Including pics of our fest, my completed project (unraveled an XL men's purple sweater I bought brand new - still with all the tags on it - from the thrift store for a buck 2 years ago) and featuring awesome earrings that Cakesface made and some of the scraps from us playing around with her die cutting tool - I'm hoping she'll post the necklace she made for you to see soon! ...in my defense - I did offer that wonderful woman sewing on the floor a table to sew on, but she just insisted on winging it in that corner. Go Catherine!

(OK, If I'm being completely honest, I've been feeling very stuck this year and unable to get energized about making at the daily fervor I had during my 2 previous TADs. I'm still pushing, though. Working on the same sculpture I've been working on since finishing Ann Darrow. I've made the next piece about 6 times and drawn it only about a billion more to try and visualize the shape I'm trying to achieve. So far, still a bunch of unstuffable incomplete yarn blobs. It may be the primary source of my frustration. 'Feels like a block I can't neti pot my way out of.)
