Tangled Stitch

What is the sun, the moon and the stars? It is the beckoning of a greater force, Greater than all of us. Looking up into the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars beckon us, the great unknown, They unite us. We all look and see the same things for a day, a week, a month, eternity. They guide us when we are lost, they give us direction, they illuminate the sky They keep us company on a day at the beach or a dark night of the soul. This piece is available on my Etsy shop.  You can find it here. https://etsy.me/2OVsMSR

I woke up inspired this morning.   I was inspired by the light of the moon and the light of a new dawn. The Light shines for all of us.   Sometimes we don’t know that it is there but it is a beacon that leads us out of the darkness of our lives and into a new life of new beginnings and new opportunities.       It’s a time like this in our lifetime that we need a new dawn, a new way of living that encompasses the light and appreciates that yes it is available to all of us we just have to believe in it. Our world has become so cynical and angry. There are a million reasons to be angry, the wars, 9/11, the man who cut us off on the interstate.   But there are just as many reasons to be hopeful and to walk towards the light of everyday life.   The feeling of joy when you get to the bottom of the ice cream cone and find the soft gushy coldness at the end.   Think about the feeling of love when we talk to our children, especially if we are no...

Finally a prompt I don't have to use my imagination for as I used my imagination a while back to create Blue Moons. This piece is one of my favorites. All the planets were aligned and it worked as a project, I found the perfect backing to mount it on without having to even manipulate it and it looked beautiful framed. I had a place where it was supposed to go in my imagination but liked it so much it is still sitting on my wall. Sometimes a piece just works, it comes out better then even you could imagine. It kind of makes up for some of those projects that sound great in theory but work better in our own mind. Every artist has them. Those projects that you follow through on, in my case putting every stitch on the fabric and then you end up with what? Lately I've been reworking some of those pieces, I'll add them to my gallery when completed. But the Blue Moons was just a joy. I hope you find your inspiration some night out amongst the moonbeams. Keep stitching.
