Although the final state of the piece is not yet clear. I tried a few things with them and finally decided it wanted to stitch them all together in a cluster, without any background for now. It felt like connecting households in this season of COVID was especially symbolic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The assemblage is temporarily pinned to a piece of netting. I may stitch it down and cut out the negative space (also a symbolic act, eh?). I may also quilt it a bit to give it some puff. Or it may become a pillow cover. Anyway, it is fun to work on. Before I do anything else, I may need to add more features &#8211; doors, windows, stairs, shingles &#8211; because that is just so satisfying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1908.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1908.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1908-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1908-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1908-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1908-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Love the suggestion of roofing shingles in blanket stitch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1905.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1905.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1905-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1905-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1905-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1905-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Piecing the neighborhood together<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1904.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1904.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1904-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pinned temporarily to some netting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1903.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1903.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_1903-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Looking through, the negative spaces really show up<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve found these golden houses so compelling and enjoyable, as well as meaningful, to work on.
