I have finished the left panel of Lunette; you can see the study and its beginning here. I like the way the color has worked out, though maybe the blue-green oval could have been a deeper color, with less contrast. The curve of the oval is less than curved, more like angled...oh well, I don't mind this.
The season of less rug hooking is slowly easing in; during the warm months I'm less likely to want to sit and watch tv in the evening, which is when I do my hooking. I'm also less likely to enjoy having a wool object on my lap, a delight in winter. A turn of seasons brings different activities, different meals, different art making: what a pleasure!
I'm really liking these forms and the colours Altoon.
ReplyDeleteThe oval is rather wonderful within the triangular quadrant. For me very satisfying shapes!
I rather like the hessian colour and texture even though I know that will not be seen!
Your comment about the season for hooking and wool giving way in the warmer months to other activities makes a lot of sense - those rhythms are very satisfying as well as necessary. Invention comes from necessity so often - here the absolute humidity and sometimes oppressive days require taking bookwork to the air condition state library and other such measures that turn potentially lost days into very productive ones!
I like the way the "helter skelter" stitche become serried, orderly ranks, as if they moved from frantic to calmed by order.

hi Sophie, glad you like this. I remember your delightful posts describing seeking respite at the library during the heat of summer.
ReplyDeleteDeb, I love using the varied directions of hooking to get, as you describe, a feeling of hectic to calm, or all-over to geometric. Glad you like it.
I will be the cretin and just say I really like all of it.
