w.i.p.

remember wordplay? time is growing short on our first go-round; the gossamer project is due to be finished on may 15, which is nine days from today.

it's been tricky, this one. it's the first one. and the word - gossamer - it's so beautiful and delicate and evocative all on its own. what could i possibly add to the experience of this word? but i've been thinking and brainstorming and writing page after page of notes.

yesterday i spent some time playing with all of my notes and ideas. i wish i could show you! but this peek is all i can spare until next week. there are some elements from yesterday's work that i'm loving, that i'm certain will end up in the final piece. and there are other things that i'll be playing with and adjusting over the next nine days.

we'll all three (erin and tracy and i) be sharing our first-round projects on (or around?) may 15. i'm looking forward to that - to sharing my creation, and to seeing how erin and tracy have interpreted gossamer. i'll be sharing my process then, too. and revealing the second word at the same time.

i've got a lot of work to do in the next nine days. but this project, it's fun!
