The connected circles.... a recurring image in many pieces of aboriginal art and my raggedy star, representing a night sky.
I am also taking part in Peggy's Moon making over here.....the above moons on the left side of the fabric were made by using a paste resist and then dyeing in indigo which I learnt in a workshop with Ro Bruhn. These moons will find their way onto my cloth soon.

Love your piece for the Magic Diaries! it looks like a wonderful, magical map.....leading to some special place from long ago......
ReplyDeletelove seeing the close up of the circles and their connections. a wonderful piece.

ReplyDeleteso glad to see you stitching away!
ReplyDeletei was so excited to see how far you have come with your ideas. just great...
ReplyDeleteHi Jacky! Hope you hadn't given up on me;-) Its been good to catch up with your recent blog posts; I love all your fabric pieces and enjoyed the little glimpses of Christmas in your home.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year my friend.... XX
Jacky, all so wonderful -- do your connecting stitches have a cord underneath, by any chance, or does the stitching itself create the ridge? -- however you make the connection, it's very cool. And I especially love the quote. And the indigo resist moons, it goes without saying! xo oh, and a p.s. that I signed up for the continuing magic diaries, couldn't stand waiting any longer. so c u there.
ReplyDeleteMore beautiful stitching Jacky, can"t wait to see it on the 21st. Thanks for the link too. xo
ReplyDeletethinking about your "connected circles". i've always appreciated aboriginal art & stories. your work really honors the spirit of this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful idea! Looks so warm, like meditation come alive.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me of Carolyn's project, omg, I totally have forgotten this...think I have to switch over from Australia to the UK now, and fortunately, this is only a few clicks in the virtual neighbourhood! xo

Love it Jacky. Your mark making is beautiful. I too find so much inspiration in the aboriginal work from your part of the world. Their connection to the land and the stars is something I aim for.

Forgot to say over on sew how much I love your star too...and now your moons...ooohhh....can't wait to see them on your cloth.
ReplyDeleteWow Jacky--I love how you are using the aboriginal inspiration in your piece! It is making for very unique pieces.
ReplyDeleteHi, Jacky. Really like your stitching with aboriginal designs in mind. Subtle, yet distinctive. Also enjoyed seeing all your pieces together in the previous post--very lovely. Nice way to start the new year!
ReplyDeletebest, nadia
oh Jacky, this is amazing, all those traditional stitches are so relaxing to look at....beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJacky, this is inspired work! You are definitely in the land that speaks to you of Aboriginal connections. I've often wished to understand them better and yet at the same time, have felt that I am not supposed to. Your connected circles are a diary in & of themselves - look forward to seeing where this all goes...
