The Edges of Things

 


The snowdrops hug the warm edges of the house.
They worried me when they broke ground way back in December
It seems they still survived.


The Rusty Pups don't think of edges
just sizes.....


Their sticks are getting bigger!


There are melted edges of ice on the stream today.


I am on the edge of finishing these two.
'Walking with Dogs'
Each one 53"h x 12"w


Frayed edges.


Rusty Edges 
Rocky edges.


Leafy edges and rocky edges


We see the Sun and the Moon
We walk at the break of dawn.
The Sun in our faces
The Moon at our backs.

 I am on the edge of starting a new piece.
Leaning towards a yellow piece this time.
Hoping perhaps for more sunshine

It seems we could be on the edge of defeating this Covid invasion.
Let us hope so.

  2. Oh yes, Your walks and your needled interpretations of those walks are beautiful indeed. I heaved a big sigh when I saw your photo of the snowdrops...my daffodils are just poking through the ground wherever the snow has melted....and we were able to register for our vaccinations yesterday...

  4. Oh Penny your "Walking With Dogs" pieces are beautiful, all these stitches, you're so good at this ! Love it !
    The ice edge along the river is very special. My snowdrops are already gone, while yours are still fine (here the daffodils are staring :-) !)

  8. Those Rusty Pups aren't afraid of a big stick, are they? I love the idea of "Walking With Dogs", rusty and rocky, and full of memories of canine exuberance!

  13. Absolutely love your 'Walking With Dogs' it has a very spiritual feel to it. Visually it reminds me of some Aboriginal work here in Australia. What a beautiful & precious body of work these two make & such a stunning representation of the precious time you have spent with all your Rusty Pups over the years. As ever, I am in awe of what you produce & so grateful you share it via the internet. x
