how do you say???

i was double checking some spelling and found this word:
Nonversation.. yeah it's pretty much what you think it might mean: (noun): conversation that seems meaningless or without logic. the example the dictionary gave was if you're at a bus stop and strike up a little chatter with someone while waiting. 
to me, it's seems like now a days there's a lot more of that in your day to day lives without the bus stop scenario. i mean how often do we have really meaningful conversations throughout our days. personally, ther are a lot of times when i don't really feel i'm bringing much to the table so i just don't say anything. not that i can't ramble on. oh if you've ever received a voice message from me you'd agree...

i think the reason i like my sewn pieces so much is because when i look at the back stitching i feel like there's a secret conversation going on.

threads run parallel as if to be in agreement with a thought. 

some thread dart diagonally.. they're changing the subject. bolder colors are obviously louder, more expressive. a passionate point is being made. 

i mean who really knows what is going on back there...
i like that there aren't always things (i.e. images, text) to impress on your thought process. there usually aren't images to influence the viewer, to speculate if i have some hidden meaning behind the images i've chosen to put together.
hey maybe people don't even question why i've sewn certain images together. really, it's not anything super important happening here. in the end it could just be about fit?



it's not to say that's always the case. because many times the backside isn't a blank surface... 

then i guess it can just be about the shapes?

  1. I love this blog. I always thought a nonversation was where you sit there with someone and say nothing at all. Instead of having small talk, just sitting quietly but communicating anyway.

    "i think the reason i like my sewn pieces so much is because when i look at the back stitching i feel like there's a secret conversation going on." I love this, and it does seem like there is a conversation going on here. BTW, I love the layout and colors of your blog, too.

  2. wow thanks aunnie! that means a lot because your blog is skillfully written and way more amusing than mine.
    i like your version of nonversation.. couldn't that also be ignoring someone (and just going about your biz'ness)
