DO

Tomorrow we have to leave for the weekend. I'm looking forward to visiting the friends where we are going - although it's business, it will also be a pleaure - but I'm exhausted from always travelling, and being away from home so frequently. All three of us are. Makes it hard to be creative, consistant and productive. After this, I just want to stay at home, but will have to do another cross-country in the first week in February. Humph!

I'm starting small. Black stitches on black cloth. Black and Gold.















I've had this fabric remnant for months and didn't know why I'd bought it. Now I can do something with this. It's a strange cloth of metallic satin. It does this...















... and it also does this. (Oh! look at that, it's kind of like an eye!)















I'm doing layers...















and playing with that thing about same color on same color, changing the surface texture.



















Totally unrelated (apart from the black and gold that is), but fabulous nonetheless: A riotous rooster from the village. Isn't he splendid?
