Green


Today's inspiration is Green
Green is the colour of freshness, newness, spring and nourishment.
More recently of cleanliness, ecological awareness, caring and kindness.
These are my pea shoots, pea green and sprouting fiercely with rain and sunshine to feed them.  In turn they will feed the earth that they spring from and so help grow more green.
Grass green, bottle green, British Racing green.  
Mint green, sea green, sugar almond green.
How many greens can you see?

Tabard


I'm itching to sew something.
I've been sewing projects for other people recently and I want to sew for me now.
I've had an idea for a tabard for some time, since October I think.
A simple shirt-weight denim tabard embellished with vintage lace and large pockets across the front.
A modern day version of the artist's smock.
Roomy pockets for pens, scissors, hair-bands and handkerchiefs.
Something to slip on over whatever I'm wearing to become my minds eye artist.
