Book of poems - with my heart in it :)

Post by agi »

A quick project I am working on... It was a sudden idea but irresistible, although I have at least five different things near completion, and they were all abandoned for this now. (I am sure a psychiatrist would love to analyze this :lol: )

Image

I created the pattern using a lovely freebie from http://www.matryoshkabiscornue.blogspot.com" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank , I just made the bird a bit smaller, then a freebie alphabet and some speciality stitches.

The text is a quotation from my favourite Hungarian poet, Attila József. I found an English translation:

Upon a branch of nothingness
my heart sits trembling voicelessly,
and watching, watching, numberless,
the mild stars gather round to see.

I have done the text and some of the stars yesterday, but it's not much to see yet. I will post a photo when it is done, hopefully this afternoon. :)

Here it is - I just cannot make a proper photo with this camera, especially not in the evening.

Thank you. :) I am thinking of starting a "series" to stitch some lines from my favourite poems and finding or designing a motif for each as an illustration. But I am afraid they will all be very sad :(
Would be appropriate house decoration for a Literature and Language teacher, wouldn't it?
