The snowy hopsacking remnant, a linen/rayon bend, is to be the back side of the kantha pillow cover. I hope to leave its beautiful selvedge exposed on the edges as a sort of trim. Sometimes a selvedge is better than the cloth attached to it. I love the sound of this piece of cloth when I shake it -- it rumbles. That made me experiment a bit -- a length of linen also rumbles, but not so for cotton. The sounds of cloth.
February was a snowy month here so my full moon art cloth is a snowed-in house under a rising moon. This cloth is making itself, really -- I seem to have very little say.
All together now, 1-2-3-4. All four of the amaryllis buds are open today! The bulb, I think Red Knight, is at least five years old, all the more reason to celebrate its full bloom.
And a happy weekend to all. I'm off to visit the garden store. xo
I just love visiting here Peggy--the order, clarity and beauty cheers me immeasurably :-)
ReplyDeleteAhhh...the bloom is beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteThe little house in snow...my first thought when I saw it, before reading your words, was that it was a house held in a hug! And maybe this is so.
And you even have glass block somewhere in your world?!!! I am a huge fan of glass block, long leftover from my married to a ceramic tilesetter years.
Coming here is the highpoint of my days :)
you're right about selvedges. some of them are so precious...even the ones with words. pretty lace.
ReplyDeletei collect selvedges, for whatever reason. beautiful images as always. really love those green stitches.
ReplyDeletelovely ... that green makes the cloth sing ... its the red/green engagement of course ...
ReplyDeletethe sound of cloth, sings.
I love the snowy cloth and your amaryllis is gorgeous! Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. . . the sounds of cloth interest me, too, Peggy! Thank you for this---and all your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the "full moon rising" and all the fluffy snow.
