Another good day .....

Windowful of Pockets

I am so pleased with how this work is going. The acetate looks like glass in an old bookshop window, and the pockets look like books on a bookshelf. I am going to handstitch scribbly couched lines, like writing, linking across horizontally with the words of the poems, in black over the hessian, and in white over the window 'leaded lights'.  Very happy. 

 I really liked the ragged edges and fraying from the interim stages, and will continue with this in another piece, but for this particular piece, I want crisp window bars to emphasise the regular look of books and the window, contrasting with the random and fluid lines of the writing.
