Red. As a wise woman commented when you are onto a good thing.... so after last weeks wonkiness and Kirsty's wise words to Wonk it up - I was thrilled to remember I had this fabric that already has lines on it. I considered doing it another colour but why fight my love of red stitching? I love this verse and first saw it in an art gallery gift shop in Christchurch as a painting , I quickly jotted in down in my notebook knowing one day I would find a way to use it... It is written by Bruce Williamson.
Nice sentiment don't you think?

ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Cath. I love the primary school writing book kind of feel this has to it...
ReplyDeletep.s-I saw your comment on kootoyoos spot yesterday (about textiles at school)-only subject I ever failed at school and now I earn my living crafting and making things, so I cheerfully relate to the 'stick that in your pipe and smoke it' sentiments :0)
OH MY GOD - LOVE - LOVE!

ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of back in the olden days when you would enter your handwriting into competition at the local agricultural show.
This is amazing Cath.
ReplyDeleteReally really love it!

ReplyDeleteIt has to be red because at Indi's school you get your red pen license before your blue or black. And that totally looks like grade 4 work what with the margins and lines and all. Love your work Ms Cath. X
