State of mind 2009

Snow!








gone before the day was done, of
course...

Thought it appropriate to attack
some of yesteryears loose ends,
dug out the state of mind-pillow









did some stitching on it, added pieces
of an old hankie and curtain...









and this fellow (who was inspired by a
detail in a photo of a pair of
embroidered boots which once belonged
to Peter the Great - whether he´s
wearing his royal lace underwear or is
having an x-ray of his rib cage I don´t
feel fit to decide...)










Zum Jahresbeginn,
vom Vorjahr mir geblieben
sind fünf Scheffel Reis.

At the start of year,
what I got left from last year
are five bushels rice.

Unbezahlbar, dieser Zar! Was für eine faszinierende Verwendung für die Spitze. Und ich liebe diese handgequiltete, gerippelte Oberfläche.
