Art of the Day. I took yesterday's fiber art piece that I hated and cropped it into 9-inch squares. Those look better and are more manageable than the larger piece. But I think I overdid it on the stitching with this one. I need to learn restraint. I'm not sure the blue denim is doing it any favors.

Art of the Day. I've been working on this fiber art piece all day, and I hate it. It needs a lot more work, and I don't want to do it. It's not fun. I'm thinking of cutting it up into manageable bite-sized pieces and playing with mixed media on them.
