Woman's Work

One idea, two ways of seeing it.

The first is the feeling my way through the idea, of putting the shapes together.    Stitched on a rough linen ground with cotton threads:

After some weeks had passed, I reconsidered how I felt about the work of women.  The second piece is worked on a silk broadcloth background with silk floss and perle.  Smile at the beads over the cloth/rug being shaken.

This is the finished piece.

From 2000.
