My lovely, hand printed, pain-stakingly sewn, beaded and embelished Staithes inspired water colour quilt

Carried Away

 

A fancifully walk into wonderland that's either a reach from the moors around RAF Fylingdales up to the satellites and stars

...or

The sunset kissed sea giving way to the new moon framed by a curl of clouds, mist and waves 

TOP: Painted silk (left side) and machine work (right side) pull together 

the land and sky against a dark night (or is it an icy sea) of 

grey dupion silk hand embelished with glass beads, 

french knots and white silk top

SKETCHBOOK: My beloved moleshin with the original

concept drawing (pen and water colour)

PHOTO: Sunset photographed from Whitby peer, taken a few years ago

but the sight of it realy stuck in my head.
