Blue on Blue and a bit of Rust

Blue on the design wall

 Pinned over lots of colour waiting for attention.

Rusted blue linen tablecloth

My old denim dress torn into strips and couched down into rocks

Rocks are circles

Blue shibori moon

Moons are circles.

Moonlit rock circles

Loving the shibori moon

Need to do more of that.

Blue

Rocky shoreline

Beneath full blue moons

We are circled by rocks

We have a coastal community in Nova Scotia called Blue Rocks.

Rust can always be found amidst shoreline rocks.

It needs to rest right now as I decide

if more stitching is needed.

I am a fan of excessive stitching!

Whether to stitch inside the rock circles

or

surround the rocks with stitch.

Don't know yet.

But for now I've had my fill of blue!

I hope you too can play with a colour you you never use!

Circling in the Mind

Family circle

Circle of friends

Circle the wagons

Talking in circles

Come full circle

Fragile laces handed down through generations

look very much at home on gentle natural dyes.

A very small piece that fascinates me.

It looks more woven than crocheted.

I need to understand it's construction.

Perhaps Deanna knows.

One of my treasures is a beautiful piece

with thin bone clasps all ready to dress up the front

of stiff Victorian dresses.
