a Sunday star

Stitch Club is still going strong !
It is fun to look at things in a new way
through the eyes
of another textile artist

Alice Fox
had us stitch down unusual little bits
found in or outside the house
that you normally NOT interpret
going along with textiles.

For ages I "collect" bread bag tags
since I saw someone use them as fish scales
in a textile artwork.

There was one in Alice's collection
as she showed the plans for these two weeks,
so : why not  !!!

First playing with bits on the kitchen counter
and then when stitching started, deciding
WHAT to stitch first
. . . . .

The curly, popped open sweet pea seed pods

were definitely LAST !!!

day 30

So sorry :

a very late start 

so it took some time before I finished my mandala today.

Then it wasn't simple to make a good picture after dark.

I used my day light lamp in the end

(better then flash light)

I made some fals starts

then there was this mermaid ...

A mermaid I thought ... why ?

Hmmmmm it's not always very nice and clean

to swimm in the oceans nowadays

NO !

We are dumping 

LOTS OF CHEMICALS AND PLASTIC WASTE EVERYWHERE

that finally ends up in our oceans

Right now sea life is duped

.....

in the end 

WE ALL ARE !

(so another awareness)
