Stitching the moon is very contemplative. In doing so I was considering how the whole moon is always there but it is not always visible. The only part we see is the reflected sun. Thus it is with people - the more of our light we can shine on those in need, the more they glow and reflect. Teachers and therapists can work on shining their light into the nooks and crannies of others and bring out the best. Parents the same.This moon is discharged with bleach on to woven turban cotton and linen on a muslin backing with running Kantha style stitching.
beautiful. discharging with bleach is a great idea, and you got a good moon colour as well. i liked the lovely bones - have been meaning to read this (hope it doenst give me any ideas tho ;) )
ReplyDeleteYour moon project sounds very interesting and the blue fabric with the bleached moon looks great!

Thanks for visiting my blog. My husband and I were both brought up to be 'sensible' with money and have never had it to throw around, so when he asked me if I'd like the Jan Beaney picture I nearly fainted with shock and delight! A once in a lifetime moment and I have never regretted it. I love your stitched moon design - very simple but beautiful.
