And oh, the Greenhouse! When I was a kid, I fantasized about living in a house just like that. :-) The next time you're in Columbus, check out the Franklin Park Conservatory. It's like the Greenhouse, but the size of a 2 story barn! Seriously. You'll be in heaven... (Honestly, if I'm ever homeless you'll know where to find me...;-)
As always, thanks for sharing. P.S. Obviously, you really like red. And it IS gorgeous. Is it just 'your color?' How did you settle on it?
Hey Treen I'll have to check out that greenhouse now that my niece is living in Columbus.
For RED, it found me. I've had a red-thing most of my adult life. Beginning with wearing really sharp red fine wool dress jackets with my black skirts from Ann Taylor in the early 1990's when I worked in banking. Then later when artmaking, the red found me again. I think that on a very basic (read DNA) level red is in my veins. Part of my heritage is Polish.
Simply stunning! Your playful stitches seem to be dancing...must be the wool's happiness at being given a new life.

ReplyDeletethere is a reminder of seeds dispersing here for me.
ReplyDeleteHi Velma! you are so right.
DeleteI didn't think about anything in particular when I stitched. These were intuitively stitched.
Exactly, Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteEspecially the (?) fireworks/flower(?)
So light and joyful.

"Will most likely cut it further apart...or not."
ReplyDeleteThere's a world of possibilities in that sentence!
Hi Sweetpea, yes, there is, and I sort of like the ambiguity of my statement.
DeleteIn much more firmer terms, I'm working out a new direction in stitching.
Lovely stitching and drawn stitched: stitching you could do on a plane.....
ReplyDeleteThat gives me an idea.
oh yes!
Deletei like this kind of drawing...
ReplyDeleteSo do I, glad you do too.
DeleteIt's beautiful. Red threads always tell the most interesting tales...
ReplyDeleteAs always I adore your stitching. I find it mesmerizing and inspirational.
ReplyDeleteThank you both Claire and Catherine.
