Thither and Yon
There will probably be no more pieces before Christmas as I have some other sewing to do and want to make a couple of gifts for the 4 legged people in the family.
Thither and Yon
This is the second of the three pieces. It is called 'Whence' and represents the journey from England to Australia. I used green and gold colours as they are the colours most associated with Australia.
This is a new work called Hence and it is the first in a triptych. It started life as part of what might have been a group exhibition based on our origins. This is quite a common theme in Australia as a lot of us come from other countries. However, when nothing came of that idea, I decided to use it in a small series called Hence, Whence, Thither and Yon.
The colour in this photo is very true. This is a very bright wool piece and it has held the colour well despite being on a wall for years. Just recently I found the rest of the pink silk blouse cuff which forms the flower pot.

Another one of the flower series, this one is called 'Off The Cuff'
