Cold days need warm fireplaces and hot tea --even if the fire happen to be a gas log fire.
And, oops! Didn't vacuum the rug before the photo op--does a fiber person work here? Or maybe a purr-son who sheds??

Tommye McClure Scanlin ~ artist and teacher ~ tapestry and other things ~ Dahlonega, GA, USA
I am an artist who observes and responds to my surroundings for inspiration. My primary artistic medium is handwoven tapestry, an ancient method of working with fibers to create images. As I seek images and ideas to interpret into tapestry I experience my surroundings a closely as I can. Photographs, sketches, paintings, and writings all are part of the research I put into my work.
I have been living in the southern Appalachians most of my life and so my surroundings are filled with natural forms of woods, streams, and fields. My eyes are frequently drawn to the myriad details of the landscape and many of my tapestries are based on aspects of those details, simplified and enlarged in a weaving.

The tapestry is looking great. I have that exact same black marble looking stuff in front of one of my fireplaces! Framed in with oak, the same way. So your fire picture looks so familiar, I can almost feel the warmth - not quite, though, as it's very cold here too!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteThanks! My, you're an early bird out there in the cold West!
I'm very happy with my fireplace surround...it's faux marble, done by an artist friend of mine. Thanks for mentioning yours...now when I look at it I'll think of you happily weaving in CO!
