Next Project

My next project is a wallhanging for another juried exhibit, due by February 28th so not leaving myself a lot of time. The theme is "But my roots are on both sides of the sea", a nod to Israelis/Jews living in the diaspora. My inspiration in the opening line of R. Yehuda Halevy's poem "My heart is in the east but I am in the uttermost west. I appear to be working in a series because this one is also embellished waves of blue on a white background with the Hebrew fused on the waves. And what could represent "the uttermost west" more than snow so I have snow-dyed white cotton in shades of blue and will use that for a border, perhaps fusing the English on it. Again, the clock is ticking, so instead of writing, I will stitch.
