thank you, all of you for your comments on my last post. i started
answering everyone individually but i just couldn't keep up!....my take it further challenge for january, has taken shape as something to hold as well as something held... i chose a pillow because it is a source of comfort which i needed to take further. i chose the heart for the simplicity of the symbol which i want to take further. i did a bit of what-iffing on the technique....and i am moving forward with a heart pillow, wrapped , woven and patched, with rough edges and memories, a symbol of ...as someone put it...love remains.
i started with simple heart strings, knotted together. red velvet was laid unbound as the base over the pillow form so it peeks through the strings of story. like some sort of regenerating red moss.
