journal

The home stretch.... 49{52} is the journal for this week. Of course it contains scraps of other journals: upholstery fabric, color catcher sheets, cotton, paper towels, free-hand machine embroidered with cotton thread and finished off by rubbing with an oil paint stick. Got a kind of a wintery feel to it, maybe due to the sprinkling of snow we had yesterday morning..

I feel like I haven't posted any new work or even work in progress in eons now. That's probably because I really haven't. But never fear! I actually have been working on things, got a bunch of new little things to show and some large work in progress. I will do a post later this week on all that and a book promo later too... exciting!

All the pretty colors look like a party to me, but the swirls do look like flurries. Interestingly enough, I did snow for my journal, too.

I see the influence of winter here, but with an element of joyfulness. It almost seems as though there is an image of three dancers. Winter guardians of happy get-togethers perhaps?

Oh, I love this piece, makes me think of the movement of the wind.
