9 months




Here are some images of my 5th & 6th month from my pregnancy piece, titled 9 months.
For each month I choose a dominate emotion or feeling and make a work for it. All the works are white on white tones and on round linens with hand done edging.
It has been a fun way to acknowledge the coming changes in our life.

I am already almost at the end of my 7th month and cannot figure out what the word should be for this month, I feel a bit combined of all the words that I have already done:
apprehensive, belly ache, exhausted, overwhelmed, excited, and uncomfortable.
Maybe feeling a but anxious- both in the good and bad way. We will see I still have another week to figure it out.

I love how the letters in "uncomfortable" are all squished together. The letters themselves look uncomfortable. Very expressive.

very true - I am feeling very pregnant!

Silver Sis- I did not even notice that- and you are right it really adds to the piece. I love how your unconscious helps ones work so much:)

from here on out it's probably all uncomfortable. Impatient would have been one of my words at about 8-9 months.

I love the linens you're using for these pieces. This is going to be a great series when they're all done (it already is, too!) and something that you can really cherish. Are you feeling ready?

thanks! I am excited about the piece and yes I feel all the linens are super special...

marie- i have thought impatient but i feel like that should wait another month since i know it will just grow and become more dominant. but i am getting there.

and no, i am so not ready. but yes i am so ready. it is a weird limbo:)
