so...a decision. in a gesture toward luck and whimsy, i made a rainbow path. am totally ambivalent about it.... i like that it indicates a wish for luck, a journey to somewhere over the rainbow. so i like the thoughts, but i am not at all sure about the reality of it on the cloth.
i remember some point in the Beasts Workshop when the word whimsical came up. i love very much whimsical elements in other people's work, but remember saying that i am not much for whimsy in my own. so i think about this. Why not?, i am wondering. what's my deal about whimsy? and since this is such a personally referenced cloth (that i probably should say is the center of the Daughter Cloth) is this the place to deal with Whimsy? maybe it is.........
so the little goat needs a tail and then there are some more stitches for the sewing down of the right and left brown mountains in the top part. a few more stems of grass.
there was a temptation to refine the goat some, but i ended up liking her so much as is...just the most basic shapes to indicate goatness and the funny little legs that were just selvage scraps that were sitting on the table...somehow i really like that a lot at the time and like it still, months later.
so...need to make this decision sometime today. this cloth needs to be stitched on to the Large cloth this weekend.
