My dreams are sometimes easily translatable to fabric and stitch. This morning I woke with a dream of a doorway with a second black square entrance beyond it. I wanted to bring that further to light, so I discharged black cotton,
but while I was waiting for the appearance of the colour change, I realized that black velvet felt like a better match, so I embossed velvet with a diamond shape and I love how it is both there and not there - you could miss it if you didn't look closely and from a certain direction. Anything or nothing could be hiding in the dark. I illuminated this with extra light so that it's visible here:
Each time the needle goes down it brings up more light.

a nice explanation through stitch.
Thanks - it emerges with the making.
there and not there
you could miss it if you didn't
look closely
seems to apply to a
LOT.
It does, doesn't it? Maybe there's a poem, here...
