There will be more margin art like this to come.

Spirals – just goofing around filling space…

The Faery Tree

This image is copied from a decal that I have from Krista Lynn Brown of  Deva Luna.  I love her work and have several of her decals.  For some reason I can’t seem to bring myself to actually use one yet, so I did my own version.  The center image is hers mostly with specific elements changed, the plants at the four corners are mine.  Holly, Rowan, Oak, and Blackthorn.

It isn’t your eyes, this is a very pale moon…

The Mabon piece was the one panel that gave me the fits from the very beginning.  I just couldn’t seem to get started on embroidering the goose.  I don’t know what the problem was but I was totally blocked.  Finally, since I needed to just START, I did.  I began outlining the goose around and around and then put in the feet, then the white patch and then she just took off and FLEW.  I’m particularly enamored with the wing and tail feathers.  Which, for those of you who think folks like me just do it right the first time, had it’s colors changed three times before I was happy.  Sew, rip it out, sew, rip it out, sew and I better be happy because I’ll ruin the velvet ground.

I’ve decided to add, where I can, an element in each panel.   The original idea was to have an animal and a plant but I think I need an element.  Guess this one is air…
