The sun is still nice and warm
but we have much more shadow on the terrace
and the lights go on a lot earlier
in short :
autumn !
For Clarissa Callesen's workshop
I made a lot more "potatoes and carrots"
in a colour range from whitish, through gold, to brown.
Then I got ideas about placement :
I wanted the long ones standing upright ...
and that's when the trouble started
(because they can't stand up on their own !)
so I just began pinning and stitching them.
I made a new piece : a thick curved one to hold my bunch of sticks
and that worked just fine :-)
Nearly finished now

Still a few days to enjoy the summer sunshine
then the rain is coming ...
I love the balancing point of the equinox
BeantwoordenVerwijderen((Mo)) ha, it was a balancing act for sure !
VerwijderenI love your gathering together of "potatoes and carrots", they achieve a wonderful delicate balance. And I've been really interested by her work too - not an artist I've come across before, a whole new way of looking at things
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYes Kat, she was new to me too, but I like her sculptural way of working with textiles ! (I'm surely not done with the technique she uses ... ideas that I hope to work out, though it will be a BUSY next month !)
VerwijderenHey Els! Your Pink Ribbon pins this year are wonderful! (as always) I especially like day #5...so earthy and rich. Love your potatoes and carrots are so fun :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAnd it must be spider web season, Peggy at Tanglewood Threads posted some lovely webs as well! Take care.
((Nancy)) thank you so much !
VerwijderenThe workshops are great inspiration, but right now there are other things on my mind and in my hands, but that's fine : an important cause !!! Take care you too !
