Going with the flow. New art.

Hello. This is almost finished but not quite. I have still to decide whether it is to be framed, or make a wall hanging. There is a wide border to it at the moment, this will be slightly less when I finish it. 

This picture is cropped to the edge of the design.

Some close ups, a lot of tiny stitches in matching threads so they are hidden in the cords.

I started the spirals in the centre and worked out towards the edge, adjusting the size depending on the area I wanted to fill. I thought about trimming the excess cord to just leave the spiral, but then thought why not take the tail end elsewhere. And so it grew. I wanted to leave some of the denim background visible so did not fill every available space.

When I got to the outer edges I put in a few small single colour spirals just to square it up a bit. I like the way it doesn't have dead straight sides. 

In a few days I will decide how to finish it, trying out a few frames, to see what it might look like. I don't think it needs glass in front of it because that would blur some of the sharp contrasting edges and flatten the texture. A box frame would probably suit it, but I'm not sure I want to go to the trouble of making one. I have the wood, I will think about it. 

I'm making some bunting at the moment, and have other projects started which need finishing, so I have plenty to do. 

Enjoy your Sunday, and thank you to the walkers who have checked in with their progress reports. It's nice to see that those who are not able to do as much walking as they would like, are looking at other forms of exercise. The lucky ones who have access to the great outdoors are carrying on. Well done everyone.
