still enjoying
just playing
just playing
with bits and bobs
of different fabrics from my stash of fragments
sorting through fragments
selecting
auditioning
remembering the original purchase
what i originally created
what i originally created
remembering the textile designer
that black and grey
with partial circles showing
is a nancy crow fabric
from the 1990s
she was my favorite textile designer of that period:
it took a long while before i wanted to cut into her fabulous designs

the red with black and gold
is an african import
the large triangle is japanese indigo

The best kind of playing :o)
What a beautiful choice of fabrics!
I forgot to mention that my father was born in Termes at the Afghanistan border. But he could not remember much, as he left at the age of 6. Still I have great interest in Central Asia.
Red is the color of joy, youth, and marriage in Turkoman culture.
They really go together nicely!
yes, carolyn, I agree. but i have to admit that it took me a good while to let my just play.
