    have you tried putting your stitched piece on the top section of the background you are using? and maybe then cut the bottom section off and cut in 2 pieces — one for either side of the top section. just a suggestion. hope i can post today.

    Moth Love (That was the title for sections of book I just finished reading, Prodigal Summer, by Barbara Kingsolver. Lots of words about moths and other creatures and their “love” I keep thinking of that when I look at your piece. I’m naming it Moth Love in my mind!)

    do you think this is a better photo? only you can tell!
    and i still think i see it as light within dark within light that the moth is attracted to. the different levels of awareness… the wider world with the moth coming into the smaller world which of course will eventually be the end. personally i think its marvelous.

    i was back on yesterday only because i didn’t sign in, but today it looks ok. sorry grace but that yellow gold top section really bothers me, and especially when combined with the charcoal at the lower end – it just spells bushfire, and then i think about rural retreats and people who are “babes in the woods” and i get the horrors. i like the lower half, the charcoalie section with the moth and moon, but not the fire storm above.
    love, k.

    yes. well it’s back to just moth love…a heart cloth.
    i remember reading that and being kinda mad at her…
    i don’t remember why…maybe cause it was right after
    reading Poisonwood Bible
    you have named it. Moth Love.

    on this big cloth, the moth and moon are smaller part of a BIG universe. Before, they were their own universe. two very different perspectives. that moth loves that glimmering moonlight, me, too.

    I love the way you place cloths on top of each other

    hey grace, here’s the response i just got from typepad…
    Thanks so much for reaching out. I’ve checked your blog and I’m able to
    read without a problem. Do you know more about what browser she’s
    using? Could you perhaps get her to provide you with a screenshot of
    what she sees? To be honest, it sounds like an issue with her browser,
    but we would need to know more in order to tell.
