The colors and the variety of textures in the weaving suggest a different time and remind me of some of the fiber art my great grand mother created.Deborah Boscherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630878222793439712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-12356051986409234762009-02-02T09:36:00.000-08:002009-02-02T09:36:00.000-08:00Great piece!Great piece!Vivien Zepfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10110439402332926588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-54523781888343221962009-02-01T17:26:00.000-08:002009-02-01T17:26:00.000-08:00Like Diane, I didn't see the rocking image as fren...Like Diane, I didn't see the rocking image as frenetic. It is almost slow motion, in fact and the black and white image with no background feels very dreamlike, as a memory. The weaving reminds me of a rug, which would fit right into the picture, but I like the idea of woven memories so well, I am substituting that for the rug imagery!Terry Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650965451863656517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-7926998489427384242009-02-01T11:14:00.000-08:002009-02-01T11:14:00.000-08:00Ooh, Karen --You did a wonderful job of showing th...Ooh, Karen --<BR/><BR/>You did a wonderful job of showing the rocking chair movement. It doesn't strike me as frenetic -- my reaction was that it makes the rocking the key aspect of the chair and it instantly swept me back to memories of my own favorite rocking chair. The woven frame works beautifully, I think. It does feel like piece about memories even before you read your description.Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-57620442714010255592009-02-01T10:38:00.000-08:002009-02-01T10:38:00.000-08:00I love how you portrayed the image with movement. ...I love how you portrayed the image with movement.

For me, the movement and colors are a bit frenetic for that comforting rock on mummy's lap, but there's still so much here about a chair that has heard a LOT of stories. :-)Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.com
