Don't you just love illustrations like this? It inspires me to create something in needlework. It inspires me to remember that I find solace in Nature. As many are planning for large Thanksgiving dinners, I know that soon my family will commemorate of the loss of my sister, Lyn a year ago this month. I'll write about that later as the anniversary of that sad date approaches, but this image wants me to ask these sweet creatures to add just one more room.
My uncle, his wife and family lived in an earth berm home many years ago. He's been gone a long time, and she's moved into a lake home on land they purchased decades ago. I've often contemplated the benefits of an earth berm home. How it nestles into the countryside, temperatures inside regulated by the earth. Safe from tornadoes and other weather events. I think the older I get, the more I favor the idea.
For now, I'm sharing this image as a way to save it for future inspiration. I may just sit down and draw my own version for the time when I'll create an underground cocoon in fabric and threads. Another item for my "To Do Before I Die" list. sigh
ooooh - the thought of recreating such a scene with needle and threads is exciting! I hope you do it!! I can 'see' parts of it done with a similar technique to your birds - and some stumpwork for additional details. What fun!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cozy picture. LOL! To accomplish everything on my Creative To Do list I'd probably have to live to be 197...then, again, if I lived that long the list would continue to grow, too... /-; It's amazing how quickly the year has gone by...I hope time has softened the sharpness of the pain of missing your sister...at least a little bit.❤️
