Moving on Like a Rolling Stone

Funny how some of us are

are bedecked and bejewelled

and beautiful

Some of us are plain janes

and beautiful

Some of us are a bit ruffled

and beautiful.

This rusched piece of silk

caught my eye

very textured and very floppy

but I wanted to make sure the edges were smooth

so stitched it to a light-weight background

pinned a strong linen on top

and performed reverse applique.

Some of us are blotched

and beautiful.

This photo doesn't give any hint of

the stone's pale shape

but it's there

and I took great pains to choose the tiny piece of silk!

Some of us bear scars

and are beautiful

Some of us like cake

and are beautiful

Some of us try to make ourselves into copies of others

....not so beautiful!

I haven't yet mastered those stones

with beautiful smokey  markings.

Perhaps next week.

Happy Victoria Day Canada!
