Western Images
- The inspiration for Western Images was from
a collage of memories during the five years I lived
in Arizona. Even though the heat could sometimes be
very intense, the sunsets were spectacular. This memory
was interpreted into the background of this piece. Turquoise
and silver jewelry could be found all over Arizona as
well as Indian artifacts. Both were adapted for this
piece, the skull was worked in shades of silver with
a beaded Indian motif of a bird laid over the forehead.
The hatchet and arrows framed the central image. Even
though this was one of my earlier stitched pieces, it
remains the one that gave me the most pleasure to stitch.
I literally hated putting in the last stitch. It now
hangs in my office and rain or shine, every day I see
the sunset.

This ribbon and floral
was designed as an interior accent piece. The traditional
design incorporates ribbons and bows into a lattice
design framing small clusters of flowers. It renders
itself easily to color changes to suit your own interior.
The finished piece measures 12 inches square and can
be finished as a small accent pillow, inset into a
mitered border for a larger pillow, foot stool cover
or framed. If you like the comfort of Basketweave,
this piece is perfect.
