Time for Change
Catherine McDonald April 26, 2025 Catherine McDonald,Musings,Revealed Quilts,Revolution
As I reflect on my piece tonight, which is very late due to me having Influenza A at the end of last month, I am wondering if the timing is right? Revolution normally means a group of people have risen up to enforce political change or you could look at

Is it time to change?
Catherine McDonald April 14, 2025 Catherine McDonald,Musings,Winds of Change
We are in Autumn going towards Winter and in the northern hemisphere it is spring going into summer. Inevitable change of seasons is happening. Every year we get older so again inevitable change. These are things we cannot control. Things we can change though are our weight, our fitness, our

Change of Tone
Catherine McDonald February 2, 2025 Catherine McDonald,Change of Language,Musings,Revealed Quilts
As I thought about this prompt and how to portray a change of language, I was thinking of using English characters and then the characters of my daughter-in-laws language but felt that was an easy and obvious track to go down. The more I thought about language changing, the more

The impact of Language
Catherine McDonald January 10, 2025 Catherine McDonald,Change of Language,Musings
When thinking of language I am drawn to two aspects. The first is the impact of language when it is used in a positive or negative sense. The advent of social media today sees language spiral out of control as it spreads quickly around the world. Generally if positive language

Which Way?
Catherine McDonald December 4, 2024 Catherine McDonald,Change of Mind,Musings,Revealed Quilts
Well we are well through this round being nine of twelve, and I have based the whole round building a series of works with similar backgrounds and changing symbols. At this point I am wondering if I should continue or completely change what I am doing? Well as I thought

Viral
Catherine McDonald October 9, 2024 Catherine McDonald,Change of Mind,Musings
My latest piece is called “Viral” and is a reflection of the impact of Social Media, good or bad. I wonder if people think about what they are saying when they post on social media or reply to someone else’s statements? Is it like sometimes replying to an email and

Rattling Around
Catherine McDonald September 28, 2024 Catherine McDonald,Loose Change,Musings,Revealed Quilts
Loose change is often rattling around in your pocket, inconvenient to carry and not very useful. In New Zealand we have really adapted to paying by card or watch or phone. Therefore you often don’t have the need for loose change. However I also look at the prompt of loose

Stuck
Catherine McDonald August 2, 2024 Catherine McDonald,Musings,Revealed Quilts,Water
Treading water can mean many things from actual water images through to your mental health. My take on this prompt has been to reflect where I am at with my work/business life v my artistic life. I have spent the last few months trying to decide whether or not to

Water, Water and more water
Catherine McDonald July 9, 2024 Artists,Catherine McDonald,Musings,Prompts,Water
My country is full of water and surrounded by water with the three main islands separated by water. There is so much scenic beauty that I could concentrate on that or I could look at the other word in this rounds prompt of “treading water”. What does this mean with

Momentum
Catherine McDonald May 31, 2024 Artists,Catherine McDonald,Color Change,Musings,Prompts,Revealed Quilts
The prompt of “Change in Colours” seemed a simple one but given I am working in a series it took a bit of thought. The easiest solution was just to completely change colours and do something about change of seasons but the more I thought about it I kept thinking

Change of Colours
Catherine McDonald April 9, 2024 Catherine McDonald,Color Change,Musings
This new prompt opens up so many opportunities and could be looked at in so many different ways. Is it a change from Summer to Autumn, a change from daylight to dark, a change in a persons behaviour from calm to angry, or is it purely a change in colour

Breaking Habits
Catherine McDonald March 31, 2024 Catherine McDonald,Habit Change,Musings,Revealed Quilts
Number 5 of 12 prompts around change and it was my turn to provide a prompt. I chose “Habits'” because we all have them in some shape or form. For example each morning getting up and showering and brushing teeth is a habit instilled in us from childhood. We know
