Stitching Slowly

Ciao

dear gentle readers...

I have been working on my little brown book

for lack of a better title

it hasn't confided in me it's true name..

so you will have to be a bit patient with me on that

I am also putting a new Flower book together..

but you will have to wait on that..

its a tiny one.. and only about 4 inches fully opened..

 

and I am working on a new Goddess painting..

Demeter

she is Persephone's Mother

and grieving the loss of her 

daughter..

so I have been busy..

between the garden and the studio..

my days are quite full..

I will be back soon with some

photos of my 

new Flower Book..

it's a Tiny one too..

C4N!!

Demeter...

if you are interested ..

thanks so much for stopping by

and taking a peek..

Spring Time!

It's a gorgeous Spring..

we have had a little rain this year and some

much needed snow..

My trees are all budding and many have flowered..

My little Red Bud above is

having a great year!

This is little wayward tulip.. it just appeared one day...

I don't know how that works..

but I will take it!!

and I thought this tree above was a junk tree..

but it turns out that it is a Plum!

I spend each morning in the garden.. weeding, planting

and laying mulch..

We have four gardens here at the Lily Cottage

one for each facing and so it is a lot of work..

soon though it will be all grown in and blooming

and mornings will be mine again..

hope your garden is blooming too..

C4N! 

New Tiny Book

Ciao dear ones..

hope your weekend was glorious...

I had a few moments to myself at the weekend

and created 

a new Tiny Book

unnamed so far, but it is a sweet one

methinks..

The cover is an antique book that I cut down..

and I love the look with the 

binding from an old dress that I tea dyed..

and I stitched it into the covers...

 if you enlarge that last photo..

you can clearly read 1940 although the book was much older and probably

an Antique when it was purchased..

I love using old things, at their most 

basic and mundane level

and elevating them into my art..

that someone finds them lovely

is magical to me..

Thank you so much for stopping by

the Lily Cottage..

Little grunge book..

Well gentle readers..

my Persephone painting

 is giving me fits..

literally..

I am probably too invested in what she is 

The little grunge book.. detail

supposed to look like 

and what her appearance and countenance

tells us all...

the works in my Goddess collection

are 

Symbolist Art

and those symbols tell the stories 

for anyone with the eyes to see...

 

But I love it when paintings just come together

and I don't feel as though I am wresting angels..

sadly though..

right now its a struggle..

I am hoping to finish both this little book

and my darling Rose book

very soon..

and get them into the 

art book gallerie...

and many thanks for your kind patience

with me!!

C4N!!
