Moving Things On

Thank you for looking in.

Lots of fiddling ( designing ) this week and more wasted sheets of inkjet printing material. Very frustrating, as it is the wrong time of the year to take new photographs of harvest fields. I started book 1 in Aug/Sept 2014 and it was about Spring planting. This book is about Harvest and I started it in Feb 2015. I have not quite got the timing right. Will I manage the Winter book in Nov/Dec.?  I hope so.

One is lighter than I want and the other has the machines in the wrong place. I will look back over some other workbooks as I know I have another photo which should work.

Moving things on.

Have worked out the finish for little bottles of seeds.
I  have put out the word I am looking to source oat seeds but not porage oats as someone ( who will remain nameless, but you know who you are.) suggested.

 
Scrolls worked out, this took lots of fiddling.
They can be opened and read but it will take a little effort to untie. I like the idea one will have to work a little to read the written word.

The poppy was supposedly given to Ceres, to help her sleep, when she was grieving for her daughter Proserpine. The poppy is also a symbol of her tears.
This is what is written inside the scroll.

 

This page is almost finished. I will embroider some words across 2 pages. 
3 pages finished, 2 more started so if my maths are correct I have 1 more to start on.

Thought I had finished inside hinges but not 100% happy with it so this will probably change.

Plan for next week

1  Embroider words " The Wheel of the Year has turned  once more."

2  Source oat seeds

3  Finish pages already begun.

4  Think about last page

 Look in next Sunday to see how work is progressing

 
My threads are now a tangled jumble as the stitching on Lughnasadh progresses Should spend an evening 
tidying up. 
Dare not show my desk. 

Bye Bye
