replacement player

 
I found a tiny scrap of pale blue green  like the one that went into "Memories Feast" and carried it around in my pocket all day until about 10pm when I dismantled that false start and worked with what was at hand, all in support of this little piece of sky. 

Is this a color from nature? some ocean somewhere no doubt. I am possessed by this one. It's past midnight and I spent the afternoon hearing, among other entertaining tidbits,  how someone could crawl under a desk, ostensibly to check on some connections, and wind up sticking his tongue into an electric outlet. That should be fatal but it wasn't . I should be tired but I'm not.

The building of layers is fascinating in your work. Funny how one color we are drawn to and holding on to ends up being the perfect one.

Why on earth would someone put their tongue into an electrical outlet?? Boredom with life? The world needs to spend more time stitching!

That pale green fabric is the color of the ocean surrounding an island where it's always warm...

That electrical outlet thing...the
person involved was older than 3?
