this is extremely SATISFYING to look upon. Satisfying in that there is a contented Pleasure to looking, the body quiets and recognizes the movement. i start in the lower right and go to the left. i stop at the corner 4 squares and rest before going on. i do this a few times then go to the Center and REST.
love seeing the whole of your four seasons, the four directions of the elementals with the fifth the ether in the centre... such a celebration of the spirit of your place Susan!
The change from one season to another, from snow to mud to seedling to plant to food for someone or some thing, everything whirling around over and over again. It has everything to do with what I want to make. I am encouraged that a fairly simple gathering of squares can say it pretty well.
the circle of life squared. im so impressed how this simple concept has turned out so beautifully . especially love the opposite corners of winter and summer. Love !
this is extremely

I am so glad, grace. I am pleasantly surprised at the gradual blending of one into another with them all together.
DeleteThe gray background stands up so well to the seasonal cycle...supporting without competing. The whole thing is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI really like the gray too. It's a rich gray and it may show up in other things I like it so much.

ReplyDeleteHowever, even without knowing the story behind this piece, it still satisfies.

ReplyDeleteyes! A simple block by block plan and so nice to see them all together. I am encouraged to make progress on other block by block projects.
