I finished this piece and photographed it for submission to an invitational show on rituals. I was going to clean up my two spaces and get started on my next project.
I did get my studio in better shape. But, I really need to clean up my office and computer desk. It is a gigantic mess. Instead, I felted Easter eggs today.
Well, they sort of look like eggs. First, I shaped aluminum foil into an egg shape.
This was probably the beginning of my problem – not very eggy! Then you wrap it in roving and stuff it in a stocking and tie it tightly.
This is then thrown in the washing machine with a load of stuff that is washed at a high temp and then it goes in the dryer. There are other ways to get the egg shape. Wind wool yarn into an oval shape. I had trouble doing that. I think you can use one of those plastic eggs, too. I think I will just call these colorful rocks and try again for the egg shape.
I have two more yellow 3 x 3’s.
Here is my yellow stuff, waiting to inspire me.
Good Luck with your rituals piece – it is lovely!! Like Jeannie, I love how you incorporated the seasonal flowers and the leaves on and off of the trees, etc.
Thanks for the idea on the eggs! I was looking for something to do! LOL (I like your eggs!)
xo
Love the rituals piece, and the seasons!
Oh, my! “Mr C. and Scooter” is stunning!!
I think it’s all about context. Put your “rocks” in a basket with a little grass and I think it will become obvious that they are Easter eggs. 🙂
Your “Mr C. and Scooter” quilt came out beautifully. The seasonal transition reads wonderfully, with a hint (at least to my eye) of a sunset glowing at about the midpoint.
I love looking at Mr. C. and Scooter’s quilt. To see the flowers you associated with the seasons and the transistion from one to the next. Really a wonderful piece, Gerrie. I think your eggs turned out great. I didn’t realize you used foil – inspired! They would be fun slit open and use to hide special Easter treats or like the peep hole eggs we used to get when we were little. Rocks/eggs/unicorn pellets – they are beautiful. Hope your Sunday is fun filled.
