I think I need to start working in a sterile box, no distractions, no embroidered cloth or inspirational images....nothing. The thing about this house is there's always something visible out of the corner of my eye that calls me, compels me to look again and fondle. That leads to a new idea...(no wonder I never get anything substantial accomplished)
The pieces today are a perfect illustration of that. One of these comprises three joined embroidered hankies, the other is a very long strip of embroidered paper and silk. Yeaterday they caught my eye so I picked them up and looked. Bad mistake. Now I want to line one with the other and create a kind of rolled, soft book with a fold over front.
I am inspired and irritated in equal measure. This is in my head now but there are other equally inspirational yet more pressing things to do. Oh dear.....
