Dream state

When I first thought about how it might go with Mo's pennon, I envisioned it stitched in words from John Lennon's Mind games including the lyric "love is the answer." I even went so far as to track down the copyright holder in order to request permission to use the lyrics in their entirety.

Of course, it didn't quite go in that direction. Instead, the cloth shreds emerged and began populating the space.

But as the shreds reached a critical mass, my mind returned to the original thought ... with a twist. What if I used Old Man Crow's lyrics? 

So I asked for and received permission to use the words from Rod Morgan's I dream of a world and set to work. 

As posted yesterday, first the pennon was dyed with windfall lichen, which gave it a beautiful golden glow ...

Then I plotted out on paper how the lyrics might fit onto the pennon ...

and finally began to stitch the vision into reality ...

I'm thinking this may take a while.
