FIRST THOUGHT Project with the Art Quilt Group in Cleveland, Ohio. 1995.
- Hang a piece of fabric on your workspace wall. It might be a piece of anything from unbleached muslin to a highly patterned piece that attracts you. This will be your canvas or foundation - your starting point.
- Keep a blank notebook and a pen handy to record your first thought each day.
- After you have been away from the fabric on the wall for awhile come back to it with fresh eyes. Write down your first thought in response to what you see.
- Manipulate the fabric according to that first thought, idea, or feeling. Work from your first thought.
- Day after day, with fresh eyes, write down that spontaneous, first thought and create an artwork from it.
