Watery Influences


Painted page
marked with stitch lines
just wondering what it would look like.
The end result brings to mind the marshland down by the dykes.
Funny how unintentionally my surroundings influence just about everything.


Down at the stream yesterday
it looked like the ice was melting


but it was so cold
perhaps it was freezing over again!

  1. maybe it started to melt then thought about it and decided to freeze instead. interesting, it looks like scrunched cellophane

  3. This post made me see things from a stitchers point of view - I saw the ice stitching itself back together, re-freezing....

  6. Ice crystals are so beautiful. I remember as a kid on the farm that the windows in the barn would be covered with frost in the most beautiful and intricate patterns. I was always fascinated and now how I wish I'd been able to take pictures for artistic inspiration now.
