"Night Revelry"

6"x6", cradled wood panel, flour paste cotton, embroidery and machine stitching, muslin and painted netting, silver and turquoise beads.

Well this little one is my night following morning of the mosaic series. I'm putting together a calendar/planner and these two will be featured together ... that is if I figure out all the twists and turns in the Blurb planner download? I have discovered working 'small' is neither fast nor easy ...what has been fun is sewing the silver beads and stitching the moon/planet shape. The last of this series (for the second time) is a 12"x12" cradled panel and using the remainder of these square (mosaic) cloths only this last one the squares are on a mottled beige, white and gray painted fabric.

We had rain most of yesterday and for us it is a true gift as we are still on limited water use and hoping for more and  more rain. The birdbath was filled for the first time in a year and I had a few bird bathers stop by...life is good!

    1. Jill, Thank you. This one was special as I was thinking of daylight and nightlight ... connecting to the other small piece.

  2. This piece gets the same reaction from me as the last one - a deep sigh of joy in being able to look at it! Just gorgeous, Mary Ann; I see how these are two sides of the same coin, and I really couldn't say which I like better. Love them both, and look forward to seeing your new blurb book. Gotta do one of those sometime if I ever get a chance!

    1. Sharmon, Thank you so much for seeing the duel quality of these pieces ... the two sides of a coin has been coming up for me so your comment is perfect.
      Good luck with this whole book business ... my complaint is not with them but with my limited tech ability!

  5. Gorgeous! They work so well together, in fact, they shouldn't be parted...

    1. Caterina, Thanks so much ... actually I agree about the two pieces being together and I've done so in my Blurb planner that I've been creating (fits and starts#?&%$).
