I sometimes wonder whence visual ideas arrive - but it does not trouble me for long. I just enjoy playing with the results. The main thing is not to go poking away trying to replicate, because, as far as I am concerned anyway, it doesn't work. Like overnight elves, these gems arrive when I'm not looking.
Playing with the idea of symmetry (or not quite) produced this:
Don't ask what it means - if anything - but I am enjoying the sense of drama and mystery, and that mental drift it induces. After all the birds which have been my companions over the recent years, it is good to get back to fish. So far it calls itself Worship.
It also has that stark wintery feel to it; pared back, ... which reminded me of another design I started many years ago and put on an almost forgotten back burner: Winter sunshine. Perhaps I shall work on them both as small stitchings in January after my hibernation.
No snow here, just cold that is not much felt because of the sunshine and lack of wind. Sunglasses and ice.
