...yesterday was sunny and warm. but not the best of days personally. i dug in the dirt for a while, which was nice. but when i picked up the square sun, i noticed the silk had really puckered up after i quilted the sky to a backing. so i made the best of it, using the extra fabric to form some relief, for a face. i have used this method before but this time it seemed much needed, this relief. some metaphor for problem solving...
...as a book mat, this one came out a bit longer than planned. it finished at about 5x12". i just kept adding a little more blue. and a little more blue. boro style, to mend and extend the edge. the yarn dyed checkered gauze backing shows a little on the edge here and there...creating a sort of magic fringe with its alternating thread arrangement. what if the sun was square? it might be a very long day.
today it is raining and i am off to see mom. i might play a bit more with the square sun idea. it has an old sky feel to it.
