the future is here already. the backs of things (a new category) are in the front of my mind today. for one thing, i am working on the reverse side of the quilt...in the velvet forest, so soothing and and safe compared to the frozen nightmare outside. everything just stiff and lifeless, brrrr.
i saw a beautiful moon last night and woke early with this idea of using the back of the fabric and the front of the fabric to create a harmonious color melt to form shapes. and now i have realized i could do it by just folding it over. i guess this will be folded appliqué, another on my list. the backs of prints always shadow the front in very cool ways as they blend accidentally on purpose.
this moon that folds back on itself was placed close by to the first forest king, close enough to tug at his purple heart and his queen has emerged and they will be melted together by green . for as long as time has been recorded and probably before that they have never been apart. they are wise and strong and brave and have the power to survive. forever. the keepers of promises.
