Playing around with shape, thinking about how beautiful flowers are as they start to die. And the Georgia O'Keefe exhibition at Tate.

Shetland Yarn Machine

Hi - it's been a while. These pictures are from Shetland, Scotland. They are just off my PC without thought for order or quality - I just want to deposit them somehow. I love the blue and the industry and the shapes formed from the utility of the machine. 

Some little part of my brain is revived from thinking about angles and industry. Nice to feel it back.

can you make embroidery from detailed photo images?

my creativity has been focused on a new home.
textiles follow from this state. here are photos i want to register as potential embroidery designs:

hmmmm

Northey Island

I had the good fortune to visit a small island in an estuary recently, somewhere in Essex (for a dear friend's birthday). The memory that particularly stands out is waiting for the tide water to go down, in the pitch black, as if I am standing in the middle of the estuary, while geese chat to each other across the way - their strange noises all around me.
