white

See, I wasn't kidding when I said I had white on the go, white on white be still my beating heart! An absolute nightmare to photograph though these aren't too bad hopefully. I felt like I had come home when I was working on this, these kind of things somehow feel more ''me''. Maybe it's because I did so much of this in the days when I was frightened of colour. I initially used all white many moons ago when I started working on the theme of mother and child. White to me symbolises the purity of that relationship. My colourful work has it's place in that theme though, for me it references the colourful embroidery our grandmothers would do on domestic linens, often transfer printed, the flowers and crinoline ladies bright and fresh. This piece to me is still a form of crazy patching, the cutwork, the pleating, the small areas of hexagons. I also have a suspicion that it was an excuse to do more of the edge I have become obsessed with lately! It is now listed although that was probably a complete waste of time as is this post. Has anyone else noticed how dead cyberspace is at the weekend?Now for the winner of my give away! No independent adjudicator sorry to say, you will just have to trust me. Look at this face, is this not an honest face? Congratulations Connie! Let me have your address and your gift will be winging it's way to you in no time. I actually don't really like these things. I always feel really bad for those of you who don't win. What can I say? When I win the lottery I promise you will all get a gift, how's that?
Have a lovely weekend x
