Mono Prints Collaged and Technology

Click photo to enlarge and see details Try as I might I was unable to upload a sequel to my movie from yesterday, so I made a collage instead. I've been sewing the mono prints getting ready for the larger quilted wall hanging.

Stay tuned.

Today I counseled a young man (21yrs of age) who felt abandoned by his peers
who preferred to sit with cell phones texting others
rather than have a face to face conversation
with him...I told him he was born in the wrong generation.
I shared how I too felt like technology was taking over peoples lives
in ways that was blocking people from being involved with people.
With the one exception of blogging.
Maybe it's not face to face
but
it sure is
people to people
and conducive
for the making of friendships
at least
that has been and continues to be
my
experience.

  2. Neat idea! Can't easit to see your whole quilt when done! Looking great so far!!! I am having small snippets of time to come online and look at blogs lately. Kids and grands will be here 9 more days till they get settled in their apt. Looking forward to getting back to something artistic again! See you again soon!

    The poor fellow. I think the young people aren't connecting with each other like they should. I wonder what will come of this world??

  5. These are amazing. you are now making your own material. wow.
    Yes it is a strange world anymore when people dont interact with each other. and yes we do SEE each other working on life & projects and sharing life in the blogging world and even meet face to face because of it.
