Excitement

It's not often that an idea in my head materializes onto fabric exactly the way it should be.  But it did!!! I am so excited.  Just need to put the binding on and away we go!  And, to top it off, it will satisfy the requirements for the Guild challenge for the May show.

Just had to share that.

STRUCTURING AHEAD

I am sure most of you will have gathered where I am going with my piece.  This picture was taken from a yacht off  Durban which gives you the impression that the stadium is virtually on the beach whereas there is quite an expanse of land in between.  This was taken 18 months ago before the completion of the stadium.



I spent yesterday wandering around the stadium taking pics from various angles etc . Magnificent day ... not a cloud in sight. This is the sky car track which takes you to the top of the arch and gives you a magnificent view up and down the coast on a clear day. However, I think I have settled on a view from the opposite side which gives wonderful sweeping lines.  I am probably  going to fuse, paint and stitch . Time to crack on while the creative juices are flowing.

MORE STRUCTURE DILEMMA'S

I am glad to see others are in the same situation as I am.   I was delighted with the theme as it fitted in with my overall 'africa theme' and it was the obvious .. going with a literal structure and a new structure in my home town following the 'soccer world cup'.  It is a magnificent building in itself but having now seen it and many other photos from various angles I am at a loss as to which 'view' I want.  

When we have a gap in our rain I need to visit and photograph the various angles for myself and hopefully I will fall in love with one.
