Weaving the creative drive through fabric

I have been inspired today by two amazing women, fellow threaders as I like to call them. One is the amazingly talented Jude Hill from Spirit Cloth and the other is Jean Baggot, who wrote The Girl on the Wall.
 These two women both use thread and fabric to tell stories, and I feel charged again to create and create. Today, after creating a few more birdies, I began to draw a scene of the common magic we see every day, but most likely goes unnoticed. It is a story of  young observant girl who watches as the petals slowly fall of a beautiful flower. A little blue bird joins her as they bask in the wonder of the delicacy at which the petals fall.
 It is a small scene, maybe even insignificant to some, but I have always found it beautiful whena petal dances gracefully in the wind, swirling, twirling, unaware of where she will land. Until finally she softly lands upon the soil where she will most likely remain for eternity, becoming one with the earth. Reuniting with the mother of all things.


The size of this scene is 21cm x 8 cm. It is hand embroidered with love and passion, and can either be a larger bookmark or small wall hanging. I would love to hear what you think.....:) Happy Spring
