Thank you for all those nice comments on yesterday's post. The Sufjan Stevens concert was amazing- truly the best concert I think I've ever attended. The music, video art and dancing was original and beautiful, and I looked around me several times during the show to see that more than one audience member had tears streaming down their cheeks- it was that kind of feeling in the theatre. It was great to hear the songs from this album in a new and fresh way- crazy electronica and big-band trombones, giant balloons, apocalyptic 'outsider'-art, recorders and even Steiner School eurythmy-inspired dancing girls. Truly one of a kind, I'd say.
One small project I finished before we went to Wellington yesterday was a cover for a very old feather cushion that resides on our computer chair (which is also old and rather Van-Gogh in style.) I used some of the fabric I designed to make it, and blue linen for the back- I made one for my etsy shop update today, too.
I've been enjoying using the Spoonflower fabric on some small projects and I wondered if others might, too. So as a tentative experiment, I've listed some fat quarters in my shop – both of the cushion fabric 'Heidi', and the blue version which I've named 'Clara'. They were inspired by my romantic ideas of alpine wildflowers and Swiss summertime. And of course one of my favourite childhood books, Heidi.
