Inspiring inspirations... thanks. Love how the sea-life relates to those amazing stitches.
When I am awake
alone
it's a quiet time to learn from the internet.
I'm staying at Dad's place. He's still in hospital.
Doing OK, but he is old.
Nature is the best ....
(but some people come close ;-)...)
glad you have things to occupy your vision.
I see.
Time.Connection
pattern, texture
your work, earth's work.

love the linen alphabet
.
old. it seems relative. we so young
compared to "things" and so full of light and love and wisdom beyond counting, holding.
I know it seems scattered.
Connections seem clear to me one minute, crazy the next.
I have not been so distracted since I was a young mother.
natural texture has a rhythmic vibration.
You have a wise way of looking at things, though you say you think they seem crazy connections at some time...
Good luck with your father.
Beautiful images. I am preparing a Minerals exhibit and have encouraged the participating artists to view nature's artwork as inspiration.
Well I am just loving this inspiration!
