It's time for Tuesdays with Liz & Kalli. This week's word is darling. Liz's piece is on top and Kalli's is on the bottom. A while ago I went to this great place called the Long Beach Depot for Creative Reuse. They sell lots of fun materials that have had a previous life elsewhere. I found this super sappy cat stationery that I knew would come in handy some day. I used it to cut out a most darling dress for this cute little mod girl. I quite literally was going for a very darling image, plus, I wanted to practice drawing a little girl. Drawing people intimidates me. Kalli's is very darling indeed, I like that she typed the word on paper first and then stitched. Kalli says that when she was thinking about the word darling she thought about terms of endearment being like little gifts you bestow on someone. This thinking inspired her to put the term in physical form like a tribute or sampler you'd hang on the wall or present as a gift. The funny thing is that my first idea was to hand letter the word in a really darling way, and then I changed my mind. It's weird how our brains start to work the same way.
