This piece, that I have named winter cloth, is the next in series from the cycle of the seasons cloth. I have stopped work on that until the spring comes and I can consider spring colours. So this is slow, quiet stitching enjoying the textures created by the rippling effect of the quilting on silk. There is winter sunshine and bare twigs and branches.I think all hand stitching is slow stitching but these repetitions are calming.Not that the design has come easily, it never does, but the stitching itself is soothing.
Oh my goodness Louise, this is sublime. It is so calming, so peaceful, so gentle...it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much for your support, I am so glad you like it. It has taken a long time to get it going.Now at last I feel it is coming together.
DeleteThis truly is a winter piece. I can almost feel the calmness just looking at it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth,tried to keep it subtle and saying something too!
Deleteloving the cool peacefulness of your winter meditation on this very hot night here in Sydney
ReplyDeleteAh yes - opposites again. We have mist,rain and dull greyness here. Wish I could waft a little your way.
DeleteBeautiful and soothing to look at, as well. I like the rippling very much. We're beginning to see the first welcome signs of spring on the Northern California coast. Though winter is not finished, it already seems very long to me this year.
ReplyDeleteI have bought lots of little tubs of spring bulbs for the windowsill and watching them emerge makes Spring seem to be close by. Hope you will soon find more spring signs!
Deletelove how the photo reads as the white-not-white of winter, with a pale sun over all
ReplyDeleteThank you Liz, exactly - white-not-white of winter - I like that very much.
DeleteThis way my associate Wesley Virgin's tale starts with this shocking and controversial video.
ReplyDeleteYou see, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he revealed hidden, "self mind control" tactics that the CIA and others used to get anything they want.
These are the EXACT same secrets many famous people (especially those who "became famous out of nothing") and top business people used to become rich and successful.
You probably know how you only use 10% of your brain.
That's because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNTAPPED.
Maybe that conversation has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind around seven years ago, while riding an unlicensed, trash bucket of a car without a driver's license and with $3 on his bank card.
"I'm very fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I become successful?"
You've been a part of those those questions, am I right?
Your own success story is waiting to start. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
