( arctic )

January 17, 2011

i went to the fabric store.
i looked at all the fabric. 
all the patterns. all the colors. all the everything.
and i found myself freezing up.
distinctly uninspired.

odd, right?
what i really love
is digging through a pile of old scraps.
the patterns, the textures, the worn bits
it's those things that make my mind race.

working with a seam or a moth hole
that's inspirational.
that's where this little arctic fox came from.





i am quite proud of this scrappy little chap
and i think he shall stick around with me for just a bit
before finding a home in the shop.
