Coastal Bliss
Whenever my soul needs restoration I head for the coast; the sounds and smells
of the ocean infuse my spirit with peace and life. My inspiration comes
from the coastal town of Rockport, Texas. Long known as a fishing town,
Rockport is also home to artists of all mediums. Two things set this
piece apart from anything else I have ever done. First, other than
surface embellishment, the entire piece was created in tunisian crochet.
All yarn used is handspun – either by myself or purchased from other
fiber artists. Handspun yarn lends a sense of energy and life to any
project, a quality that seems so perfect for freeform.
The sea
does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One
should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the
sea. ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
