I wasn't fishing for compliments when I invited your comments -- in fact, I have a lot of reservations about the yellow top and am a little surprised that others haven't shared my unease.

In these scrap shapes I see conversations and stories taking place with imaginary creatures or humans. So I pin the shapes onto white backgrounds and let the stories emerge with a little embroidery to help them along. I have been experimenting with letting my "dark side" do the talking. It seems I harbor many monsters that want to get out. This is a good way to release them and the results are so interesting, not anything my nice, lady like rational mind could produce.Julia Moorehttp://silkenwind.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-77806602630962367222010-02-20T13:17:40.291-05:002010-02-20T13:17:40.291-05:00Yes, definitely two separate pieces.

The "leftover" tops are wonderful - particularly the yellow/green to red to blue one. I can definitely see fabrics we all contributed.<br /><br />Congratulations, too, on the Nancy Crow exhibit. I can't wait to see the full images of the work. The exhibit sounds spectacular!<br /><br />RebeccaRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663411184129275195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-88084312794727992252010-02-20T09:58:16.183-05:002010-02-20T09:58:16.183-05:00Dear Kathy
