freebird.

i finished this piece a few weeks ago.

i threw it together really.

i didn't plan or sketch
or spend too much time trying to make it just right.

i wanted to make something,

to relearn the tools and methods

that seemed so foreign to me.

i didn't want the pressure of perfection...

i can be down right mean to myself sometimes.

so, here she is...

she is my first actual creation in my studio.

she is rough.

she is awkward,

maybe even a little unstable.

but boy, oh boy,

IS SHE FREE!

i made her to remind myself:

to start.

to allow imperfection.

to hold on to freedom.

to fly.

oh, oh - ALSO,

my maker's mark came in the mail!!!

it's my initials...

forming a winged heart.

ahhh, i think it suits me well.

it's official.

:)

fly,

sarah beth
