A Fortnight of Stone Pathways

I have been organizing myself

by filling a beautiful basket with squares torn from

linen, silk, damask, a pair of old baggy pants and more.

Another basket of potential pebbly fabric
mostly dyed with local vegetation.

And of course a small basket of threads.

When stitching a daily record of time

it is important to make things as easy as possible

So now I have everything at hand.

A fortnight done....well not quite....still working on them.

Haven't yet decided how to attach each week to the next.

A little bit of ruching on a speckled background.

Each pebble has it's own personality

It's own world in which to sit.

 I am thinking there would not be

too many straight lines surrounding the pebbles
in a Stone Pathway.

A speckled pebble hovering above stitched folds.

Sunday's rock sits plain and lonely

but not for long!

For now the used pebbles are lined up on a windowsill.
Perhaps I will create an installation in the garden next summer.
I see them hanging from tree branches.
But we loose trees every year through weather, disease and old age.
I have a few months of snow and ice before
the warmer weather comes!

And the pebble that started it all

happily sitting next to a liquorice all sort perhaps.
