“All of us are in the gutter
Some of us are looking at the stars.”
The Pretenders Message of Love (1981) (quoting Oscar Wilde)
Jude Hill is taking our circle of cloth conjurors from all around the world on a journey with her exploration of SunMoonStars, diving ever deeper, making magic real…
Pure whimsy! I love these, Mo. Thank you for a smiley start to my day.
having lots of fun dancing with the stars & the dark moon as the dawn is just peeping in!
Ha, ha, ha, Mo these are soooo funny !!!
(ánd beautiful !)
(((Els))) such lively little things, they make me laugh.
I love the humour in these. Such wonderful materials.
isn’t it funny how just stitching these amulets onto a piece of paper makes them “work”, that’s one of the best things about exhibiting, finding out what work still needs that extra push to make it connect out in the real world… & they need framing… something I really don’t like doing because the frame takes the work out of the day to day…
Looking at the stars because there’s no moon tonight…………………
the dark side of the moon…
Until the moon comes back to play …
the turning
You already know I love these creatures…the playfulness of them…and your line on the paper of course is superior…You might hate it but I think they belong in shadow boxes. Flashed back tho where I was not when Chrissie Hynde peaked with the Pretenders. But we’re both still around (of course she’s a lot younger and she and the Pretenders put out a new album “Alone” October 21st (I did not)….https://youtu.be/JStKEEujtIw
thanks Michelle! they are theatrical little things, names up in lights, treading the boards, shadow boxes, vaudeville, sideshow alley…
I’ve been quiet lately, but I’ve been here, enjoying your starry thoughts & the wonder you create & share.
(((Hazel))) I read this in Robert MacFarlane’s “Landmarks” yesterday-
“Considering the verb to consider, he reminds us that it comes from the Latin con-siderare, and this carries a meaning of ‘to study or see with the stars.”
these are like 3d line drawings. i love the dark of them,
the power of a tendril seeking balance
Oh, these make me so happy, Mo! What a sure touch you have. ((((Mo))))
they’re such funny little things!
