train of thought...
after a busy weekend camping ( in beautiful Robinhoods bay with fab friends - photo's to follow... when I've sorted them out, job No 36!) I'm spending a morning in my studio sorting and organising. I've been working on ideas for the Red Quilt project organised by Kootoyoo...
I received my calico square to work on last week and as I ironed it flat to work on ( which incidental, as I ironed, the square gave off a very strong smell of rice pudding and I had flash backs of school dinners and stirring in as much jam as I was allowed to hide the taste of the rice pudding and just being really grateful it wasn't semolina ... or even worse tapioca... frog-spawn disguised as a milk pudding!)
Anyways...
my train of thought was to think about the word Red and what was around me that was red and what was the first images I thought of when thinking of the colour red....
what's on my desk that's red...
what I had on that was red...
on my wall that's red...
