Things are getting more and more eccentric at Casa de la Swain. Changing styles in my textile work, falling in love again with painting and photography...and then there is the ever illusive quest for continuing creativity through working with Eric Maisel. Still on the road teaching, posting now at the Ragged Cloth Cafe and taking the pledge to keep handmaiden up to date.

First in Abstract Series

As of yet un-named but all pinned and basting for applique started. You know the rest of the story...surface design, etc. Posted by Picasa

I like this one, Gabrielle. It's like a doorway into another space. The others are also lovely. See, it wasn't such a hard transition.

Gabrielle- this one has such depth!! I love your new direction - one of the things I want to do is work more abstractly, but it is difficult for me. Need to push a bit, eh?

It's way too difficult to pick a favorite...every pic I look at, I think this is it, my favorite. I love the stones deep rich colors and I love the design of the whole cloth 60's piece and I really like this last one also. Glad you are sharing so we all can enjoy them
