There were alot of eagles by the lighthouse on Mayne Island, and gorgeous hikes - as well as shibori scarves in the gallery! It was a pleasurable day trip to a familiar haunt and needed transition.
I stitched more of this on the ferry over.
Right now, my studio space is crowded with many pieces in various stages of completion, piles of materials meant for this one or that, still packed up class supplies and a small area by the sink with pails and dye at the ready for further shibori. It pretty much mirrors my mental build up, too, after taking multiple classes over the last year and just needing to follow my inner rhythm for awhile. Maybe that's why I was drawn to simply finish this piece that I began a few months ago. Simple soothing handstitch and some completion
and an integration of old with new. That's what I'm calling this - Integration. I've also been reading some books again - what a pleasure to wander where my curiosity leads.
I have learned alot and there's alot more to learn, but for now, I will spend some time digesting.
