Molly's Quilt

Inspired by Lucy's post about an outing with her cocker spaniel, Molly, I played around with the colors Lucy mentioned and came up with this quilt for Molly. I first drew some lime green lines on a chocolate brown background, fiddled with different effects, changed hue and saturation settings, then pixelated the whole thing to come up with this. Every dog should have a quilt of its own. Molly lives with an artist, so her quilt is colorful, to the max!

Meaningful Quotes

"We are displaced by time."

-Marian Marshall Suplee Griest, late (first) mother-in-law, spoken to me in January 1994, in a dream after her death.

"We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen." - D. H. Lawrence (via Whiskey River, 8-22-2014)

"There is something scary about letting ourselves
go. It means that we will screw up, that we will relinquish the possibility of perfection. It means that we will say things we didn't mean to say and express feelings we can't explain. It means that we will be onstage and not have complete control, that we won't know what we're going to play until we begin,
until the bow is drawn across the strings.

While this spontaneous method might be frightening, it's also an extremely valuable source of creativity. The lesson about letting go is that we contain our own creativity. We are so worried about playing the wrong note or saying the wrong thing that we end up with nothing at all." - Jonah Lehrer (via Whiskey River, 10/22/2014)
