I’m wondering if that’s a soft voluptuous stomach or something you eat.. 😉

I thought it must be the biggest jelly roll in the world at that price but a tourist from Texas schooled me. These Jelly Rolls are bundles of colorful fabric used to make quilts, a huge thing in Lancaster especially with the Amish.

I painted a bit before I decided to photograph. But I think on the whole it’s strange that I chose visual art, in fact I payed a little attention to visual. But when I studied drawing once I came out of classes and I was really very happy of seeing things that I was observing. I felt like I saw everything and everything was interesting and beautiful. And then I thanked God that I’m able to see. Such a thing happened for me several times, but that time it was the strongest positive experience which I got in the life I think.

I feel the same way. The most common things can be seen as extraordinary, even art if you process it that way. Think Andy Warhol and soup cans.

I think if we were cats they might be fun to rip up but not necessarily delicious.

If you read the comments you’ll see why VJ. I was as surprised as a kid in a quilting store! (not that I actually went inside)

First I had to educate myself on Jellyrollism and Quiltification. Turns out neither is as interesting as driving around guzzling coffee, chain smoking and occasionally taking pictures.
