Yarn Shop Through the Looking Glass |
Occasionally my husband and I wander through local estate sales. We usually come away with books or DVDs and he is always on the hunt for unusual tools. Last year I found this solid wood embroidery hoop. Its sturdy, large size triggered the idea that it could be used as a frame for a piece of painting canvas. I mounted the canvas and trimmed off the excess and there it sat. I toyed with the idea of doing some kind of round abstract painting just for fun. I started making circular marks in southwestern colors. I doodled on it a bit. I finally decided that whatever it was, I wanted it to relate to fiber art. Thus, here it is; the interior scene of a yarn shop - a porthole view.
