#exhaustedoctopus

In the time I've been offline here, I've taken up quilting as a hobby to pass the time, and especially to make display pieces for work. It's much more simple than garment work for my brain, and a nice break sometimes!

This piece is a Seaglass Quilt, inspired by @/exhaustedoctopus on insta, who's class you can register for and use to make your own. This is just my practice quilt, and I still have to quilt it, but it's been fun to not be so precious with the shapes and judge nudge things around until they looked right.

For once, I felt free. I felt the sky. I felt the clouds. I felt the grass gently swaying at my feet. I felt as if I weighed nothing. I felt as if I was one with the flowers, dancing in the gentle wind. My eyes slowly gaze upon the sky, slowly my dopamine left my body. My hair swayed in the wind as I looked at the steel cage that awaited me. I step away from my freedom and slowly enter my bird cage. Although, it felt like a bear trap that I’ll never leave. Unless he desired me to, I stepped inside and felt my heart, liberty, and my dopamine left as quickly as it came.
