I’ve been working on The Virgins for quite some time, and suddenly got sick of hooking that wall. In fact I found I didn’t like any of it anymore. Time for a break.
Fortunately just about this time, my daughter-in-law took a photo of the Saskatchewan prairie sky .
As an Ontario girl, I’m always so impressed with that amazing expanse of prairie land and sky. I immediately wanted to hook it. A perfect foil to the intricate detail of The Virgins.
With Heather’s blessing and permission to use her photo, I packed up all the accoutrements of The Virgins piece and set about on a new venture. I rummaged through my stash, and came up with this as a starter…some rug warp, some wool, some yarn, some sari silk.
…and set to work on the stubble field…
I realized the blues I have on hand will have to be supplmented, and set about dyeing some lighter shades.
Still not sure about this…so while watching the Women’s World’s curling on the weekend…I switched to the ‘weed verge’ closer to the road.
I’m really enjoying hooking this…just the change of pace I needed.
I’ll be back to The Virgins….later…when I love them once again.
In the meantime..
Thanks for stopping by.
