Inspiration Under My Feet

Just being at the beach is renewing

for the mind and the body.

But the worm pathways caught my eye on this trip.

I am really drawn to the chaos the worms have created

contrasted by

the regular diagonal lines created by waves and tides

and

the random diagonal line of tiny pebbles stretching towards

the top left hand corner.

I see couched chaos

atop a grid of simple diagonal running stitch

or perhaps stem stitch or back stitch.

I have gathered together in my baskets

so natural dyed threads that could be couched

onto a piece of linen or wool.

or perhaps

the basket of bright procion dyes would would be more fun.

But I am still thinking natural.

These guys are always inspiring companions

but....

....today it is the very straight line of footprints

going off into the distance.

Strange

Three of them

Just one line of footprints.

A walk in the woods

always provides some inspiration

Just walking along

looking at my feet

to avoid tripping over roots or stones.

Perhaps more couching

or 

wrapping

or some other

fabric manipulation.

Perhaps dots could be added

along a seam-line 

to add emphasis.

I like that thought

and

to remember those thoughts

I have to record them here

or they will go poof into the vacuum of space

never to materialize!
