Creation Is Complicated

My Creation in Crochet concept (of 1/20/11) is still under consideration for a later time.  With a 'completion date' (aka 'deadline') of today to be mailed, I regretfully retracted my contribution for the GOArt Show & Auction.


I have nearly completed 6 of the 10 mini creations, which is commendable, since I have not crocheted much jewelry in my crafty past.  Except for the lapel pins ~ shamrock, bunny, pumpkin,etc. ~ back in the 80's.  Think I shoulda created the tiny jewelry back then, when my eyesight was, umm, younger.

Kinda clockwise, is the aqua ring, shamrock pin (from the 80's), lg. purples flower pin, green cuff bracelet with silver button, pr. leaf earrings, pr. of pink/white starry flower earrings.   
The inspiration piece ~ necklace ~ for the entire complicated creation is still an hour or more from completion... and camera shy.  Well, can't stay on the computer all day, I've gotta GO.

peace.  & smiles!

GO-GO-GO

Instead of learning any the 27 new crafts I've learned in the past couple of months, I think I may have made a decision!?!   My creations might come from the crochet genre, maybe, possibly.  I have hundreds of skeins, balls  & pieces of yarn, and likely 100 projects started and never completed.

So last night, I just had to start a new crochet project... it's in a sub-category of FREEFORM, which I never knew was okay for me to do until 2 days ago.  Whenever I would create a new crochet creation, I'd focus on having to repeat it a second or hundredth time.  Then I'd lose interest or ability or goal, and put the yarn & hook & strange looking swatch into a bag.

With Freeform Crochet, there is no pattern, no intention of duplicating it ever again, no wrong decisions, no worry of someone NOT liking the creation -- somewhere, someday, somehow, it will connect its Grateful Owner.  I may adapt the style's name - Free From... (criticism, condemnation, complaints, etC.!)

Yes indeed, because as I see Free From, that connects with another concept that's been a Swirley in my head - Guerilla Art, aka Yarnbombing if done with yarn.  My idea has been to crochet a something useful (like a hat or scarf) and leave it freely for whomever wants, or needs, a little warm fuzzy feeling... beginning with warming up a certain cold concrete block bench down the street.

The "January 20, 2011 Creation in Crochet" is, imho, very, very creative!  The concepts are penciled in.  The crochet hook was located (from a bag with an incomplete thing-y).  The colors and yarn types are coming out from hiding places all over the house.  And, co-incidentally (LOL), about 10+ little mini-creations will combine efforts to become ONE.  My art and I (my heart and eye) are getting connected, I'm developing the motivation for these unknown possibilities to present themselves, and found THE charity I am GOing to help sustain.  All adds up to:

the GOeffect organization and GOart and GOrilla

so, now that I've learned a little bit about blogging, it's time to see if this Creation in Crochet will work... okay now, time to GO...   thank you.

peace.  & smiles!
