We spent a lot of time discussing this piece made by Polish artist, Maria Bierzynska. The tapestry was created in 1972 and is titled, Nokturn Chopina. It is made from wool and sisal. It makes me want to do some spinning, weaving, and wrapping. There is much movement as your eye travels around the piece. I especially like the verticals on the left side. The little bit of yellow peeking out grabbed my attention - it seems like a statement, "stop here and rest before continuing the journey".
I came across a challenge recently. Set a timer and do art for 5 minutes. Unless I prep a little bit, it is almost impossible. So - I changed the rules. 7 minutes is much easier. My other rule was that I could only use papers out of a folder that I randomly pulled from my stash. Paint and ink is perfectly fine too.
I found an almost empty passport. It only had one stamp in it. How sad the poor this was - it never truly lived. Instead it sat in a drawer and then a box of discards before appearing on my studio desk. I decided to give it new life!
The mustard piece will work into my "yellow" project. I may, or may not do some extra stitching. It feels like it needs beads. I have a long car ride coming up - this may be my car stitch, although beads in a car might end in disaster!
