Paper to cloth
one thing becomes another
The drawing ( left) from around a year ago. I rarely date anything but I did this time. How Love might Flower was the thought. Today transferred to cloth. A piece of muslin. Thin muslin, some muslin feels like paper. This one is soft and easy to stitch through. When I say transfer I don’t mean trace or any other methods to exactly reproduce the image. I like to just look for a while and then look away and draw it again. A new moment. From an old thought. Close enough this time but sometimes I wander off. Nursing my thumbs, better today.
Above freezing for about 15 minutes today. Enough to quiet the winter bitch.
Good evening Jude,
What a sweet drawing coming up on Valentine's day.
Hope your thumbs will get better soon. Have you ever heard of Bag balm.
It works wonders on cracked, winter worn farm hands. Years ago I had hands that were cracked and there was no moisturize lotions that would make them well. My grandma was still alive and she gave me this thick salve and it seemed like overnight the healing was noticeable. It was Bag balm. Used by farmers on the utters of a nursing cow, when they were being milked again. Just a suggestion. Not a prescription lol.
Blessings and sending healing thoughts your way.

LOL. Had to laugh about your "winter bitch" comment. Is she referring to a who or a what?
