Yes, except you will find that there ARE
rules about making that kind of thing too! Everything still needs to fit
together, colours work, stitches look effortlessly disevelled etc. A
great deal of work goes into getting that look believe me."
I do wish anonymous commenters would leave their names, it's the polite thing to do.
Considering I've just made a lace curtain for my daughter made from scraps of lace, sheer fabrics, doilies, deconstructed garments etc., I do actually understand that it is a difficult process. Did you read my previous post and my explaining the difficulties I encountered? If you had then you would realise I'm not naive when it comes to constructing such an item. Rather I was talking about the creative process, not having to follow a pattern, cut out little pieces of fabric etc. The post was about me (this is MY blog after all) and how I'm emerging as a person, a creative person, enjoying the process of letting go of self imposed constraints. In regard to colours working together, I believe that may be in the eye of the creative beholder. Often what you see in the bohemian style of doing things, colours seem to clash, that's the beauty to me, seemingly no rules.
Don't get me wrong, I love the quilts I see in blogland, admire the patience, skill and passion so many ladies have for this beautiful craft. Years ago I actually hand pieced a quilt and have yet to finish hand quilting it. Perhaps I'm intimidated by the process, (a confidence thing) it seems like such a huge task in my head.
That being said I'm leaving you all with another bohemian image I adore (except for the poor animal whose head is on the wall, yuck) and I don't think there is a is curtain in sight.
