I may or may not continue adding on to this book cover, I have a few more days to do so. But I’m pretty pleased with how it looks now.
The round gold discs are horn, the white discs are bone. The stag in the center is bone. I think he’ll like this.
A little project for a friend’s birthday. He be loving the black and red. Me, I love this juxtaposed against the quilt.
This isn’t finished, plan on more embroidery but wanted it as done as possible. One of the reasons I use some kind of bonding adhesive for my appliques is that when I embroider a motif down that isn’t bonded it tends to move a bit and that makes my pentagrams not point correctly. But I only found out his birthday three days ago and it’s in a week. So decided to leave it as is and hope he’s glad for the obvious handmadeness of it all. There shall be color in the corners etc…
I love this cotton print…
My mum has a lovely garden and this is just the beginning.
I’ve been working on settling in over the weekend. I was sick for two weeks while trying to move so all I could manage was packing. Then moving it, then unpacking. Then initiation, the recovery. So here I am 3-4 weeks after this process began and haven’t done hardly any walks and my meals have been a bit of a joke. Time to get back on track.
Why mess with perfection? This was my horoscope the day of the initiation. Suffice it to say I felt cherished and welcomed and everything is all bright and sunny. I’ll just leave it at that.
As I compose your horoscope, I’m sitting in a restaurant in San Francisco’s Chinatown dining on something the menu refers to as a Milky Golden Prize Delight Bun. And I’m thinking, I bet it’s going to be a kind of Milky Golden Prize Delight week for you Cancerians . . . a Sweet Creamy Lusty Elixir week . . . a Rich Thick Tasty Brilliance week. If you can manage it, I suggest you try to have a dream one of these nights in which you find a delicious morsel of the sun in a bowl of pudding, and savor it all while listening to the full moon sing you a thrilling lullaby.
