The best laid plans of mice and men . . . and women, too, I guess. Notice that I sent Susan comments on how the project was going, and pictures, so she really does know that I was working.

Fabric, right side out, laid on bag form. Had no idea the creation of crocheted fabric could take so long. Should have broken the project into smaller pieces so that I wouldn't have suffered so with the insane deadline I had given myself. Bear this in mind when you choose a project. What pieces will you turn in if you can't finish the whole thing in time? jeanne
Fabric and bag form turned so that you can see the whole fabric by combining the images.

At last, this seems to be working. This is a light weight Rowan cotton yarn, on a 3.25 mm. steel hook. The fabric is about the right weight and thickness to cover the mesh of the bag form. This is a different kind of free form, like the one I did on the back scrubber (OK, am still doing). I'm scanning it in periodically because you won't be able to see it once I've added the free form motifs and lined the bag. Am trying to be transparent. Guess that marks me as a liberal, hmmm? This is the piece I finished at about 1 a.m. Evonne at the Stitch Cafe was right. It takes longer than you'd think. Off to make the deadline. jeanne
OK, I give up. I frogged the last piece I started with. Don't know how to get the fabric to the right shape without laying the form out flat. Of course, instructions were to stitch sides together, and I had already done that. Duh!! You can't cut knitted or crocheted fabric to shape, so you have to knit it to shape. Using bright red Caron Simply Soft to tack fabric onto form. Easy to untack if I need to. Oh well, at least I'm learning free form freely. jeanne
Will start tomorrow if I finish the Elise bag. Getting desperate. jeanne
Updated.
Saturday, September 22, 2007
Gave up on trying to attach free form motifs to bag form. Instead, am crocheting a fabric with which to cover the form, and will then attach the motifs to the fabric. Nobody mentioned the need to make a crochet fabric before. Maybe nobody's ever done it. Ah, innovation and creativity! jeanne

Picture of Elizabeth Dunn's pop top bracelet from her web site. I know you wown't (I know it's a typo, but it seems prophetic. Think I'll adopt it as a word. jeanne) believe this. But there was a crocheted bag at the Los Angeles County Art Museum for $300 on Saturday, August 11, 2007. It was made of black crochet thread and pop tops! Pop tops in the handles and in parts of the bag, and pop top and crochet flowers! Now, if that doesn't speak of alienation and anomie, I don't know what does. Yeah, I know some people will never realize what it's made of. But that speaks even more of alienation and anomie. jeanne

I added to the image on the template page for essays. What I added was threads and words. I'd been wanting to finish that image for a while, but until now it never came to me what I wanted to add to it. I especially wanted to keep the drawing free, reflecting the visual that speaks of who I am, who we are, as humans learning together, not as "experts" who know it all, but as friends who guide each other in deeper understanding of the world we live in today. jeanne

Issues will be slightly irregular for a little while until I get the whole community activism Gather 'n Govern Circles worked out. The circles will include reasons for gathering: art projects, thread projects, journaling projects, and will be matched to our hopefully-balanced information of social, economic, and political issues of the day. There'll be a hard copy printable summary of each issue for those who don't have or want access to a computer, with much deeper and more extensive scholarly analysis on the site for further info if someone wants it. jeanne

Logo link to The Church and Post Modern Culture: Conversation. See Thinking out of the box on this important issue. Remember that arguing rarely convinces people. Try to listen to them in good faith and understand them; in doing that we establish grounds for answerability (Bakhtin) and begin to learn to live with difference. This site is primarily for Christians to talk to Christians, but we have lots of Christians in this country, so it should serve many people who seriously care about their beliefs. Also, people that believe they are "right" have a lot of similarities with other people who believe they are "right." Maybe that will help us understand lots of people, hmmm? jeanne
