Donkeys and Crows finished

Here is the final (I think) version of the donkeys and the crows.  It's 6.5" x 16"... an experiment that kept evolving.

This is a detail of (last month's) blue moon.  It is made of leftover fringe scraps that I compressed and then sewed in with silvery thread.  Now I am wondering what the donkeys and crows are saying to one another, so I will address that soon.  Meanwhile I'm hoping to make a header for this blog, but no promises as to when it may appear, that is to say, how long it takes to figure out how to do it.

This is what I did yesterday in the midst of work being done on the house and the Christmas tree going bye bye, because it was Twelfth Night. This bit of embroidery is still homage to the blue moon, waning now. I wish I had used a contrasting thread, but this is as it is now, allowing for change as the piece grows larger. I am grateful to Jude Hill at Spirit Cloth for teaching about this wonderful stitch and for celebrating slowness.
