Scratching 2015


And so another year starts


Flowers for a fresh start


Happy Birthday Donna!


It snowed
then it rained
then it snowed
Ice beneath snow is not easy to cope with


It snows and snows and snows
while the wind blows and blows and blows


Spent the day at Diane's playing with soy wax
but also watching hundreds of water birds
feeding on the basin
as
the eagles soared high, high above.


Staying indoors out of the cold
weaving up some threads


Threading some beginnings.

  2. A good start indeed. It's so good to have something pleasing to concentrate on amid the rain, the snow, and (here at least) the wild winds!

  9. Love the addition of the weaving bit. I recall scratchings of years past that were mere lines, dots or marks. It has been so fascinating to watch them morph into complete stories over time.

  10. Lovely work! I especially like the spiral. Is the couching done separately and then you embellish with the other stitches? Or can you accomplish both simultaneously? Your work is so inspiring!
