Once again, Deb Lacativa's dyed cloth and threads have a starring role ...
And this time I did a turned-edge reverse appliqué lined with a row of split back stitch worked with two strands of floss, while a single strand of detached back stitch danced around the edges of the dyed cloth marks.
beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe words to Moon Myth are so enchanting but when combined with cloth, threads and stitching, they come alive in such a wondrous way, tactile in imagery with magic created on every page.
ReplyDeleteMo and Marti ... thank you for your words
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is so meticulous. Amazing! And I love reading the story as well. It is so enchanting :)
ReplyDeleteNancy - thank you and in return I much appreciate your words ... meticulous “marked by extreme or excessive care in the consideration or treatment of details” and enchanting “powerfully pleasing, appealing, or delightful” (with thanks to m-w.com for supplying the definitions).
ReplyDeleteI love the delicate and subtle stitching on the moon.
ReplyDeleteDana - Mo’s intricate blue moon was in my mind ... thus one obviously simpler, but I am very happy with the light touches of stitch led by Deb’s dyeing
ReplyDeletethis is swell to watch
ReplyDeleteThanks Jude ... it surprises me every day, which is great fun
ReplyDeleteI love all the stitching and the cloth, storytelling under your fingers. It is such a work of love.
ReplyDeleteFiona - thank you for your steady presence and encouragement ...
ReplyDeleteWow, Liz. This is one of your finest creations.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue ... I think it's so potent because it was based on a real experience ... and having made the cloth, I can now revisit that night again and again
