on paper
at home last night

paper thread and silk
dyed
on wake robin papers
and our school year opening meeting
i spotted a kangaroo. a touch of oz
in the north country
a good beginning
a little humor
round and round you go! i love that you are coming home to that work.
ReplyDeleteHa.... a kangaroo. Hope all is good this year...
ReplyDeleteLove the paper and silk thread together.
ReplyDeleteIt can become addictive - just sitting doing simple stitching can't it.
Diane.
also love the combo of silk and paper. and the kangaroo...i suppose he was looking for a heffalump...
ReplyDeletethat kangaroo looks like my old science teacher. :)
ReplyDeletelove those threads. you amaze me.
Welcome back to school. (Peace be with you)!
Your materials are so inviting! I guess a kangaroo can be too :)
ReplyDeleteaimee, i know you do, and it makes me smile
ReplyDeletevalerie, it's starting well, despite the 'roo!
diane, it's all roz's fault (!)
glennis, well, there were lots of teacher's there--
m, ha!!! and thank you.
nancy, they are lovely to touch, for sure. the stuff, not the 'roo.
nothing is scarier than a human in a kangaroo suit.... except maybe a clown....
ReplyDeletegive me silk and paper and thread any day!
it's magic - paper thread on paper - I want to see more. silly 'roo doesn't he know winter is coming.
ReplyDeletewhoever designed that critter had never seen a real roo - very weird! stitch on paper is nicer by far away.
ReplyDeleteV-what a delicate concept - stitching silk with paper. Hope the school year goes well. B
ReplyDeleteronnie, this is the deal: a kangaroo is one of the local college team mascots. go figure! and i agree.
ReplyDeletejean, what a surprise it'll have.
kaite, i agree
barry, i'm actually, stitching paper with silk and paper. although that could change!
Your stitches are like tracks. I reckon it's beautiful to stitch paper, an insubstantial material. Really, that is what the old bookbinders did, when everything was done by hand.
ReplyDeleteToday, with technology doing so much work, we are free to experiment like this, to be whimsical, and through our whimsicality, let a little more light into the world.
Thankyou Velma.
yes, faisal, they do look track-like! i like that! funny, too, that working the paper, crumpling, etc, prepares and strengthens it for the stitching.
ReplyDeleteoh! love the stitching on paper, oh!
ReplyDeleteoh, and no captcha!
ReplyDeleteyeah, but blogger hold them in prison until i let them out!
