After a break from work, I generally find it very helpful to pick up again briefly where I was comfortable and where things were seemingly almost complete.
These images, revisited from last year, are the result this time. I feel them to be the end of something rather than the beginning which may seem a strange way to begin the new year. However, manipulating the familiar, overlaying, cropping and working with opacity gets creative thoughts running again for me.
This time, as I look now, I've been surprised to realise that the post contains a busy and restless selection of images when presented all together. Perhaps it will seem less so when presented individually. I hope so.
On the other hand by being not very restful, maybe it will make a better lead into the new than I expected.
So now to venture into less familiar territory ... and a different colour palette and new work ...
Well, since it's been snowing almost nonstop here for 3 days, I can't help but see the view out my windows, a peaceful winter scene. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful - inspiring weather for stitching and creating? Winters here are generally mild, damp and grey with little snow. This year so far has followed this rather depressing pattern. A (gentle) fall of snow lasting a few days would be very welcome!

oooo, i can see tulles layered, and metallics hiding under and crystal beads, and heavier couched threads in dark forest colours--i LOVE these!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you, Arlee. Sorry to be so slow to reply.
DeleteThanks for your kind comments and I'm sure you're right - there is much scope here for further work. Many thoughts are running through my brain but layering is certainly the way to go. Meanwhile, I have other things running in parallel at the moment but will return to these soon in some form.
rafraichissant et beau! bises
