Beloved Silence


12"x15", embroidery, gold beads, machine stitching, painted muslin, digital writing and images on suede and muslin.Painted trim and rust stained string.
This is the last of the "Ancient Scribe Series". The letter ayin ...this letter is said not to speak but only to see. Beautiful prayers begin with this letter and we all know the power and beauty of silence. It's been seven in all for this series and challenging for sure what with using a letter as part of the piece. I'm glad I did it...I'm richer for having had the experience. I'll frame and show a select few later in the summer. Now I need to ask myself what might be next? I'm still loving cloth and stitching and beads but I think what I need right now is to experiment and play. I have a list in my journal of titles that can easily lead me if I need inspiration. I also will continue to write each morning in my journal.Oh, yes, first I'll clean the studio!!

Spring is calling me for yard clean up and new color plantings. I need to repaint the kitchen and household repairs are all listed and available for the handyman. Beautiful time of year!

Gold Beads

The challenge for me this week is working on these small 6"x6" wood panels. I've decided to go for the gold ... a hot bright morning blessing is my first and the second will be a moonlight blessing. Not sure yet about the sun stamps ... I'm also creating a silk screen sun so I'll need to decide as well as the mosaic cloth. Definitely will use up this tube of gold beads ...Oh, these old fingers!
