For this week's Saturday share I'm posting a new piece...it's a small work only 6 x 8" and was created to support an auction for the Studio Art Quilters Association. In it I played with soft body acrylics, hand painted and distressed lutradur and free-motion embroidery.

| All Who Wander... Textile Art by Monique Kleinhans |
Part of the fun of working on a small piece is the ability to play with an idea that you've not tried before, or in this case to start with a work that was begun a long time ago but hadn't yet found it's voice.
I titled this All Who Wander (are not lost) because I believe that we have to do a bit of meandering in our art as well as out lives. Not just to get to the next destination, but learn and explore along the way. If we start every project with such a firm idea of what it needs to become we'll miss out on the sometimes messy, but often rewarding paths unseen.
While it's much to cold for the owner of this nose to be wandering in the woods currently, I'm happily wandering in my creative landscapes and can't wait to see what might be around the next corner on after the next hill.
Play on!
