This is my February journal entry for the Quilt Studio for the 12 x12 x12 challenge. I used a batik back round and fused the face and shapes on it, over which I stitched a shimmery netting and machine free handed it. The base is timtex, which is like a stiff batting. I like the way it came out but I am not sure how to finish the edges. But for now it is as finished as it is going to get.
In a couple of minutes I am going to get a hair cut which will reveal much more white hair.
I am conflicted of course by this, wanting to remain ever young and the nubile goddess that I once was. However I am rebelling against that concept (that age invalidates us-how absurd!) now that I am fifty and wish to find new and deeper meaning in my existence.To all my fans and groupies, I hope you are not too dissappointed! But I do look forward to not having to plough through the paparazzi when I am trying to ride my motor cycle through my upscale neighborhood. And of course, it will make grocery shopping so much less cumbersome.

Thanks for the hug. Congrats on finishing the 12 X 12. I like the scary tree and moon.
I hope you do the big reveal with your haircut. Frankly, I think the beauty and sexiness of gray hair is understated. A goddess is a goddess regardless of hair color or length!
i love these words...and the photo! you are beautiful. :)
You look great! Wish I were 50 again - it is a wonderful decade.
