Cloth for ''Sparkle''.

Progress to date on my new cloth for ''Sparkle''. This is not even half done yet but I have damp stretched this part and now need to continue all the way down the cloth. Now you know how I am with clean, un wrinkled, all points on the OCD calendar? Well look how this image is of a crumpled cloth. I had taken lots of pictures, some of which are on this post, in my usual folded restrained way and then from nowhere I had placed the cloth on the table like this and I thought oh, that looks nice. So I took more pictures and I have to say I love it like this, soft, somehow makes me feel warm.

Although it will take a while to finish this piece I am not at all in a hurry. I feel like I am ''home''. I get such pleasure making these cloths, all the while my head is working, thinking about how it will look when it's finished, what can I do with the edge. I am already planning my next piece for Sparkle and would really like to expand the ''swaddling band'' theme I dabbled with a while back. The next image is of the back of this work, there is something about it don't you think? It deserves it's own picture.

My parcel arrived safely today for the Weston Arts Festival, phew! My work is going to be placed alongside the work of some amazing artists in a place called Frou Frou. The lovely Camilla has set up a blog specifically for Frou Frou artists so have a look, she says lovely things about me!

Well it's back to work on monday, the least said about that the better.......but........it means not as much embroidery........sob,sob. Rest assured though that when I am home I will be stitching my fingers to the bone and I won't desert you, promise. x
