Mending the Sky by Louise Watson

Louise Watson’s pennant is “Mending the Sky”
opening
with a grace note
the reveal
her sky is filled with birds
with an exquisite eye for detail
flying with love
“I have finished all the birds. I have chosen a selection, sea birds, waders, swifts and swallows that we see from the garden. Some are endangered. We have to keep the habitats for them all. Sea clean and air unpolluted. It is all about Mo’s theme mending this beautiful broken world.”

Wendy Watson’s pennant meets The Gathering!

Wendy Watson’s pennant just flew in from New Zealand
Wendy carefully beaded a piece of the fragile bridal veil to her pennant
she talks about her process over at Late Start Studio
“The veiling is so fragile it disintegrated as I worked but aren’t hopes and dreams like that? Unless they become goals they can dissipate leaving little trace.”
“When Mo opens the package, there will be traces left behind in the wrapping, if people touch it when its exhibited along with the other contributions more damage will be done, but that’s okay because even if most of the veil falls away, the foundation and the pearls will remain. Love is like that . . . it needs a strong foundation because what is built will get knocked about however the most precious aspects will remain. I wanted my contribution to reflect this.”
the patina of time
the exquisite point
the other side
the edge
there is such deep magic in Wendy’s pennant meeting The Gathering
Wendy wrote an e-mail after she posted her pennant, “When I got home I realised that I had left out a note. What I wanted to say was that it has been such a pleasure to be part of the endeavour and a privilege to have my effort hanging alongside the work of so many talented artists.
The concept was so thought provoking. Whether it’s love for an individual, humanity, or our beautiful abused planet, I trust the vestiges of love will see us through.”
these beautiful words & work are
