A Textured Landscape

The standing stones of Dartmoor stitched a while back above a messy bracken.  Val kindly included it in her latest landscape book.

It is cold here today... no surprise that I was drawn to photograph another warm piece.

Not that Dartmoor is ever warm. Standing stones always look so solid and isolated; but not in this interpretation.

They look like they're having a party...artistic liscence.

  4. The purple in with all those warm tones, is really quite effective. Love it! I may need to steal that colour combo for one of my bead journals. LOL! Congrats for making it into Val's new book!!
