Thinking about how to get textures and pattern into my journal quilts this year, I was struck by these textures this week.
Frost on the roof of the car ( my neighbours probably thought I was mad, standing up in the passenger well to get these)
Then a fortuitous find of swans' feathers near their preening area, brought home and loaded into a steel bowl. Incredible how these shapes echo the frost patterns.
Wet bubble wrap - an accident turned into something interesting manages to keep the temper from flaring I find.
And an explosion of yellows with the first daffodils bought this season.
Contrasting markedly with my well-loved fuchsia pink gloves
Too much inspiration all round, as ever.
What is your theme this year?
ReplyDeleteI love those frost pics! And the bubble wrap. All that lovely inspiration all around us.

Hi there, I'm attempting " Places I remember " for my theme, as I want to challenge myself with getting ideas in to more abstract textile work. As my first "place" includes red sandstone tenements, a huge park, pavement games, large Silvercross prams and my cousins, it's proving to be very challlenging.
DeleteLOvely photos,
ReplyDeleteLove the front pictures in particular! Hope that the accident wasn't too awful.....x
