This post relates to a request from Kathi who is about to do some work based on a photograph of a dandelion. Funnily enough I had thought recently to throw away some of the design boards from what I worked out as being
17 years ago. The stitching is quite heavy and mostly on felt, which I thought related to the subject but which the tutor didn’t like as she thought it killed the light. Some of the sketchs I remember doing in the car whilst waiting for my son to finish swimming lessons; you can see from my last post what he's doing now.
The piece I actually liked, which was based on the delicate tufts of seed heads, was sold and I didn’t unfortunately photograph my work at the time.
Well have fun with those dandelions. I can’t let you sample the dandelion wine I made; I assure you that you had a lucky escape - it was rough!!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE your dandelion stitcheries! I feel even more inspired by them now, thank you so much for getting them out of hiding....maybe you can start on a new piece. That would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI like those dandelions. I always think its a very underrated flower. Its just the right colours and the way they fill a patch of scarp land is incredible. I spent many an hour as a child collecting dandelions for my parents to turn into wine!
ReplyDeleteThe book cover is absolutely gorgeous. The colours are so subtle.
ReplyDeleteI love your dandelions. My tortoise loves eating them! They are such a happy yellow flower and herb?
