Weekly Project: The End

The end of the year means the end of my weekly stitching project.  I did end up with 52 squares, but wasn't very good about doing them every week.  The last one I posted was #45, here are the rest to get caught up.

Weekly Stitching

I haven't shown you my weekly stitching for quite a while.  I have been behind, but I am almost caught up now.  Number 35 was the last one I showed you.  So, here we start with #36.  These are all very different in the stitching patterns.

Comparisons

This is a photo of Weekly Square #27, which I did a while ago and have already shown you.

After I had done this one, I was looking through a book on Piet Mondrian and found his Composition 10 in Black and White.

They look very similar, albeit in reverse coloration.

In my square, I was trying to do random running stitches and just letting them cross wherever they happen to fall (it is actually very hard, for me, to do random, irregular stitching).  I'm sure Mondrian was a little more deliberate with his lines.

I find it interesting when you sometimes create an artwork and then later, since we have so much more access to the world via the internet, you find another artist who has created something very similar.

Or the other thing, which I find a little more frustrating, is when you have an idea (but haven't brought it to fruition yet) and then you see somewhere that somebody else has already done something very similar.  Then, I feel like I can't use that idea because someone might think I'm copying the other person, even though the thought had come before seeing the other piece.  That rarely happens, but still. . . . 

It probably happens more than we know/realize that two (or more) people have the same idea in different places around the world, at different times. I guess that's why we have a patent office in the US.

What do you think?  Has this happened to you?  Do you think this happens a lot or just rarely?

The last weekly square I posted here was number #31.  I have a few to show you to catch up.

I really do not like #34, for some reason.  I might have to go back and do some more stitching on it.

For the next several posts, I will get you caught up on some of the weekly squares I have been doing.  I'm finding the weekly format a little bit harder to keep up with than a daily.  I don't have a set time for doing the weekly stitching so it often gets put off or forgotten.

I'm enjoying the summer and finding it hard to believe we are half-way through June already.  Here are a couple more weekly squares.

I like the direction this last one took.  I still haven't ventured beyond horizontal and vertical lines yet. But there are still a lot to do.

And here is what I have so far, all together in order.  I'm thinking that in the end, these will be put together into several different pieces instead of one big one (if at all).
