Out and About

There were plenty of tasks I could have done yesterday, but I decided to give myself a day off. I caught up with a couple of friends and went for a walk at Warrandyte, along the banks of the Yarra River.

I have no specific textile inspirations to report. I just took a chance to breathe a little. There were wattle blossoms everywhere in different stages of development.

Ephemeral

I picked a little twig of blossom from the street tree across the road from my house. They never last long. Already the fresh brown leaves are coming through. The appearance of the tree changes day by day.

I also have in mind some more flower brooches, so the construction of the flower interests me. How would it look upsized?
