DC: tiny


a tiny home
amongst vibrant life
 ~
inspired 
by last weeks painting:


It was fun to pick up needles and thread

when i did
two sentries appeared
to hold the tiny world in their embrace:


the back:


within the forests embrace
wild love beauty and grace


It is my pleasure to host this weeks DC 
with the prompt: tiny

please visit my artful friends
to see how they were inspired:

  2. i do have to smile... this morning, as i took the train into a next town to walk around a bit, i stitched a loose seam on my jacket sleeve back together. now, i'm no embroiderer, i'm not even that good at mending, but i did have a thread and needle in hand today, and i repaired. on the train! fancy the coincidence. hahahah...
    your tiny scene looks alot better than my wonky seam. nice of the sentries to come and join you! this reminds me of my late auntie's handiwork. she was good at it, like you are here, after an own scene, no less! your poem so very well suited. wonderful. n♥
    i'm in full prep for DC!

  25. Oh my gosh, your embroidery is exquisite, it looks as though it came from another age, the colours, the design and the two sentries.
    You've painted such a beautiful enchanted picture and then you've made something quite different by stitching it.
    I'm enormously impressed.
