what if #53: part 5

ok. this one sat around for a while all coiled up waiting to become the holder for something, and i couldn't get going with it. it needs to hold more was the felling i got and i had plans to extend it a bit. it sat. and then i though what if i extend it using an old shirt placket? an indigo shirt. a beautiful ready made edge with holes. button holes. buttonhole are always good for something. so that's what i did. and for some of the raveling edges i thought what if i just mend them with satin stitch,,, solid indigo.... and tack them down with that magic blue? nice. (left, by the needle) . when it gets a bit bigger i will coil it up again and see what it will hold. i need a bottom edge.

what if #53: part 4

cont'd from here.

the embroidery on this is very time consuming and so the piece is moving slowly, giving me a lot of time to think about it... i am just stitching and adding things here and there. a bit of a ceremony over here has me asking myself what if this piece becomes a container of some kind?
