changing horses in midstream..

...but deciding I can ride them both at once, like in the circus.

I'm re-examining my choice of reworking two shirt for my MCD project - it's still going forward because the shirts are right at the "save me" condition now with the rag bin a close second and I really like putting one on as a chill chaser.

Back when it was so cold in the house (remember when?)  I layered two of them and clearly recall the warmth and comfort of the two shirts working as one.


I  think the problem has come from focusing too closely on the elements (those tattoos) and not being able to see the garment as a whole because of the problems inherent in making it reversible. I plan on having two distinct moods for this shirt. One side will be "the Ocean's Daughter" and the other "Pirate Queen Cuts Loose" or something like that.  So you get the picture. We all have (at least) two sides. Cheap-ass Yankee that I am, I want my project to work overtime based on the mood I'm in at the moment.
 
In the meantime, I've been swept up in the

"Rêver" series and examining the difference in the way I feel when working on these two very different projects.  


Each little element tells me a story while I'm working on it and yet they all relate to one another easily, without any fuss or fanfare.

This one flipped back and forth between the Mountains of the Moon and a B52 Stealth bomber making a night pass amid spotlights.


See what I mean about duality?
