and again, the Lizard cloth at the top of my Diaries Cloth is a Jude Hill.  a teaching cloth from the Beasts workshop.    but look, oh, oh, look, grace…look at what you have understood.  oh Ecstasy

    I’m seeing the tree now, I think the way you want it to look. Like a ghost of a tree.

    It’s soooo good to go beyond where we think…
    Just popping by to see what you’ve been up to, Grace, and my goodness, this cloth has sure gone to a wonderful beyond!

    That eye is riveting…demands attention. Just so good!
    And does anyone else see the skull sitting on one big bone on the rug – upper right?

    Hi Grace,
    I really can’t wait to see the whole cloth!
    I am still working on those tiny pieces…afraid of tackling the “big one”.
    Have a great stitching weekend…and maybe a lot of fun beside embroidery!

    It seems to me as if the eye is looking inside the cloth … cannot express it better.

    No, not at all. It is such a knowing look, I think I´ve seen in on a greek statue of a goddess.
    I´m working on my eye-thing, it is getting better 🙂

    Grace, this eye … I couldn´t stop thinking … now I had an idea where I have seen this expression:

    http://www.studiolum.com/wang/russian/roerich/uta-naumburg-k.jpg
    it is a gothic statue in a german church from the middle age
    Don´t know if you see it too, but that was in my head.
    By the way I always liked this face.

    Doris, how cool that you could be reminded in this way. I like this face you’ve shared.

    Grace, the eye changes the cloth tremendously! It is the most prominent feature – demanding the beholders focus at once! Great idea!!!!
    As always: enjoy the weekend and keep on stitching…
