More of the star, but winter colors now. We have snow and cold. The white backdrop of the snow makes it easier to appreciate the lovely lines of the plant stems and seed heads that have held on on through the weather. There's a lot of inspiration out there.
and I think I have worked a few things out for the construction of these stars, but only in my head so far. I learn a bit more with each one. I am now cutting things out to make a few more with the new plan. Some pieces of pale indigo I dyed during
Glennis Dolce's online class a few years back are giving some variation against the whites. I think the pieced stars nicely echo the frost patterns, snowflakes and crispness of winter. Natural organization.
We have been busy celebrating 8 years old with our youngest and it's official today. Above - waiting "patiently" at 5:30 this morning to open his gifts. He's a funny one.
Beautiful. You've captured the spirit of new winter. Martha
ReplyDeleteWintery is the new theme - I think it's here to stay.
Deletethe pale dyed blue indigo is perfect here susan. your star is just beautiful. i like how winter simplifies things and makes it easier to see the amazingness of seed pods and etc.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. I am bringing a few seeds and pods indoors to enjoy and that cat is after them all. Too windy and cold to enjoy them outside for long.
DeleteAs you say, the stars echo the frosty patterns of winter beautifully, and the ice blue variations of the fabric enhance the telegraphy...no words required. Happy Birthday to your baby, and to you.
ReplyDeletestunning star - beautiful icy colours and such wonderful precise stitching.
ReplyDeletebest wishes for a creative 2015
Thank you, Judy. Warm wishes for your 2015 too.
DeleteThe six points like a snowflake in winter - I just keep thinking about these stars. Also thinking of piecing them from triangles. Building them from smaller fragments.
