INSPIRED TO STITCH
an exhibition of mixed media textile art

1 March - 31 March 2012
inspired to stitch
St. Ives Library, Gabriel Street
St. Ives, Cornwall

Jo and I are textile artists from St. Ives in Cornwall. We each have very different styles of textile art but enjoy working together and sharing our ideas. We would love you to come and see our mix of textiles if you are in Cornwall or down on holiday in March ♥

A paddle in a cooling rock pool

I was up at 5.30 this morning
woken by a huge orangish red sun
bathing everything in golden light

my mosaic today is inspired by seaside blues
golden light, sunshine yellow and cheerful orange

it's so hot, hot, hot already
I want to go down to the beach
and paddle in a cooling rock pool


with thanks to my flickr friends and faves for sharing their photos
and to special friend Julie for her fab fishes

I wish you a happy summertime week
seaside blues, happy orange and sunshine yellow
creative wishes
Carolyn

  6. One doesn't normally think of orange as a sea colour but this mosaic beautifully shows how this colour is most definitively a sea colour too.
