| Dragons, printed on cloth after a gouache painting, inspired by an ancient Chinese vessel |
When I started doing needlework again a few years ago, I did so because being too much on the internet and reading each and every site on conspiracy theories wasn't doing my soul any good. True or not -- I decided not to decide, but feed my mind with issues I experienced to be positive. I worked on a cosy and colorful little world around me. The cushion is part of it.
Curing the world is hardly possible. Doing what we can without neglecting our own welfare has become my solution. Have a time of happiness and well-being!

it's only recently that i'm seeing the dragon symbol as something positive. it has always had a negative connotation in my mind. your pillow is beautiful. so vibrant in color.
ha.. dragons. i want to make it a symbol of story some how, change it to be something meaningful to me. we'll see.
I understood a long while ago that I have to stay in my own little world to be sane and safe. It became clear to me that I cannot bear the global suffering on my shoulders, and that I will not be able to change things in a big way. But I can undertake small steps, I can live in peace with myself and my surroundings, I can care for my own well being and happiness and for that of the people near to me. I can create good vibe and positive energy - I can be creative and I can reach out to others - that all contributes to feeling good.
Your pillow is a good metaphor for all this. :-)
Wise words, Eva, which we should remember !
I like the dragon as a symbol, and my plan (not started yet) was to make a dragon on one of my felt-fabrics. So I think this "new year" would be a good time to do so ..... ;-)
Stunning work. Stunning--stunned with the beauty and power of it.
Happy Water Dragon Year to you, too, Eva.
