remix

What do you get when you drive home from Dallas with no children or good friends in the car to distract you from your navel-gazing self?

A road hazard.
(and I have the sketchbook pages to prove it)

Not being completely happy with the piece I just put up in the 'Lost and Found' show led me to contemplating 3 or 4 other pieces that I've never been completely happy with as finished work. One was an experiement that I was mostly happy with, except for a part that I tacked on at the end in an effort to disguise a mistake I'd made. Another was a piece I made with someone else's taste in mind...never a good idea. And so on.

Long story short, mad sketching and note-making (while driving...don't tell my husband or my mother) ensued.

For the last few days, I've been happily tearing apart those old pieces and reassembling them in various ways. So far, so good. I hope to post photos of the new pieces in a day or two.
