The Challenge

So it begins.  It is easy to say we will have a challenge but not so easy to do.   I'm glad she wrote it all down because I couldn't remember all the rules.  This is what she said:

             "We will present each other with a 'detail' or 'texture' design

              every week for a year.      "The Devil is in the detail"

               I will do mine on the plane tomorrow....I wonder if we

               should decide on a size  considering it it a weekly project?

              Well we'll trial a 6" block and sometimes we'll have to do

              12" blocks to balance.   Will we covert each others blocks?,

              there might have to be flexible rules for this

              challenge. We might make them up as we go along.

             BUT..... there will need to be consistency

              BUT, we're laughing about it already...!!!

            Sunday will be the day, the day we reveal...

             Carolyn has just said we have to have right up till midnight.!!!!

             We'll both set up a separate blog, that links to this one....!!!"

Now, she said nothing about having to sew those blocks.  I can do the design each week and get the blocks done later.  And she did say flexible rules.  (I bet she goes and makes a super duper background for her new blog and gets really carried away with the whole thing.  Of course, I would do non of those things!)

Now here is a detail on the Nepal Peace Temple in the South Bank Parklands.  This temple was donated to Brisbane after Expo 88 and has become a much loved landmark.

Each of the small building on either side have decorations on the roof.  If you look closely you can see that one building has male faces, that are gold and the other female faces that are silver. I wonder if the represent the sun and the moon?   I really like the details of these faces.

 

Now I have to workout how to link this to Pam's blog.

I like yours better but I am snowed under with work that has to be finished in the next two weeks so have had to work with the tools to hand. Sorry that you are not feeling too well. I have an embroidery magazine on my blog that your mother might like.
