The Leap year, of course, started on January 1st 2016. It is now April 1st and I am happy to say my project is up-to-date and right on track! April Fools! I am in fact three months behind on my blog posts and just starting my LEAP 366 Life Ring. I have been discovering people and places and keeping a hand written journal, but it has taken me this long to figure out the best way to proceed.
I had originally planned to make 12 Life Rings. Each representing a month, a specific place and people. Too limiting! Why confine myself to one situation a month and miss interesting opportunities. My other major hang up was the textiles. In the past, most of my Life Rings developed from textiles rich with meaning, like my mother and grandmother's clothing. The textiles dictated the stories. In practice, the LEAP 366 Ring will be a combination of stories told because of the textiles and stories told through the textiles. Instead of 12, it will be one giant Ring! Its center, and the core of my life, has to start with my family. Right here and now I thank them for their input and support in my adventure.
