"Locked Into My Quiet Time" Lori LaBerge 2012
"Locked Into My Quiet
Time", shown in progress in last week's blog, has been completed.
I added upholstery tacks on the sides and two corner brackets at
the bottom with twine stretched between them.
Last week, I had
mentioned possibly adding some stones. When I spotted the two corner brackets in my box of salvage parts, it gave me the idea to place a
section of twine between them to represent a barrier against outside
interruptions. Sometimes we just need to block out others and take
time for ourselves. I would still like to use stones in the future,
but they would not have worked well with this piece.
The salvaged handle and
latch, shown above, before being permanently set into a new work surprised me as they were not meant to go together,
yet fit perfectly. When I grabbed them from my salvage box and
noticed this, I knew they would be going into my next piece, "Freedom
to Come and Go". The latch was set in place so it can be
displayed placed into the handle or left open.

The washers and upholstery
tacks were placed in a curve to give a sense of whimsy and
spontaneity, two types of behavior that fit well with the idea of
freedom.
Enjoy your freedom, kick up
your heels, try something on a whim and have a great day.
