the heart of this tree has grown outward to reflect its inner secrets for growth.
shisha mirrors from Emily. thank you, thank you, thank you. this is my first attempt at stitching these little Indian treasures, but it was easier than anticipated. i love the effect but will hold off using too many because i have no experience that tells me of their performance as a quilt element.
i've decided on a web of vines to tie this forest together, scribble and stitch in green, over-all as a final texture. i think this will give the center section some cohesiveness and color harmony.
this keeper of lightness and vision is a teacher of self inspection
and a mirror to the soul of all who come to rest under her branches.
it has been a very busy weekend, taking care of my parents, unpacking treasures from asia, (my son is back!).... and stitching in between. i have a backlog of blogging to do. more thinking blogger stuff and i have been tagged by Florence and i need to respond ..... but none of that till tomorrow. for now its just fabric and thread and sewing in the sunshine.
