A red star. A lot of color for me. But it was hot. I got caught up in the idea of a wishing star being a placeKeeper for a change of direction.
I'm back to what-iffing. Catching small thoughts in a new way. But I can talk about that later. Here, the star as a corner has caught me as an interesting arrangement. I made one sketch,there are others waiting in line. But the thread part is important. I pulled snippets of thread from the thread nest, because I save all those small thread ends. One by one, small pieces of color ended up in a nice blend and variation on red. But it also had me thinking about variegated threads in general. How so often the color repeat is too long, so on small areas you don't see the color change soon enough. You know what I mean? That's why I like Deb's Threads. Her crazy method of dyeing produces the perfect scattering of color. Way better than the commercial kind and even some of the hand painted threads I've seen.
A red star then, practicing a few things for the Endless Wishing Cloth... and the reflection of a new day.
PS. I did rows and rows of split back stitch on the star points here. very close together.
