A return

 

It's good to be home. As much as I love spending time with Charlie, time away from my life reminds me that I've got shit going on that needs attention.

It's very chilly here, but the promise is a return to the 80's for the coming weekend. 

Prep for the first dyefest of the season is ON. 

~~What colors are you feeling? 

I need some strong, emphatic color statements right now. My thread box is looking anemic.

Yes, Dee, rust, burgundy, and teal. And there will be more b&w textures. 

Suggestions are always welcome.

The cat posse is working hard to forgive my absence. Everyone wants to smell the baby cat. Somebody peed on my sandals last night. I have my suspicions. 

And will you look at that wrinkled paw!

 

I knew that I wouldn't be using stitched lines with this piece. There is too much going on, and the fabric itself is fragile. 

This "seeding" seems to be the answer to securing and enhancing the elements of the design. 

This piece has the tenuous feel of works that have, in the past, teetered on the brink of failure or success. Only time will tell, and I'm in no hurry to find out.
