It's Crow Time 
lovely!
(((Jude))) these are offshoots from the Book of Honesty which grew out of the Honesty cloth I stitched last year with your beautifully dyed indigo moon on the softest old linen
Honesty knows no bounds.
(((Michelle))) our artist book group of 10 women are putting a zine together “to engage in cooperative art making on a small scale in a free association with what ‘creativity’ means with the emphasis on simple and fun, not a major work, rather a small exploration of an idea.”
Honesty, honestly, a picture is worth a thousand words.
(((Arlee))) I like the shimmer in the shadow of the word Honesty in this illustration
one of the most gorgeously simply simple simply wonderful pieces of art i’ve ever seen
Waiting for the eclips of the sun ???
(that you and I won’t see …)
(((Els))) In 1974 I watched a full eclipse of the sun reflected in a dam on the southwest coast of Western Australia, at the height of the eclipse when the sky turned deep indigo and the stars came out a black swan flew up from the dam reflecting the rainbow sunset colours at the edge of the sky in the white under it’s wings, it was a transforming liminal moment in my life but on reflection a dumb thing to do that my old eyes are paying for now…
Sun moon shadow seed – and indigo infusing it all – beautiful indeed
(((Susi))) your beautiful thoughts are helping with wrangling the mk2 into shape this morning
Beautiful! Love the fragile shadow of honesty.
(((Hazel))) the first one worked so easily, the mk2 is getting there at last, wondering whether a moon ladder is necessary…
Honestly Mo, I love it…………….
(((Martine))) in the end so do I !
Such beautiful, sensitive work Mo. 🙂
(((Nancy))) it’s such a beautiful plant to explore!
I love the progression Mo – and the outcome. Each little element belongs just where it is – including the obligatory drops of blood! Enjoy!
(((Fiona))) so good they ended up on the back this time!
