"BLACK HOLE SUN" WIP...et al

 

"Black Hole Sun" batting page
in progress...

Here is the lyric I am 
interpreting:
↧↧↧↧

["Black Hole Sun , won't you come,
and
Wash away the rain..."]

I slow stitched the rain in the
gray section above 
to give it more texture for 
that lyric;
and
I couched golden silk ribbon
around the meeting of 
black hole and sun
which emphasizes the black hole
better, I feel....


And I  free-hand stitched
the title "Black Hole Sun"
around the top
↓↓↓

The facing page will be some sort of
rain and whirling eddy representation...
I am still thinking this through...

Here are a couple of photo shots from
Youtube videos showing concerts 
with Chris Cornell performing
with Soundgarden...:

*******************************
And....
Here are my first two
rough lego slabs...
uncut and un-ironed
and just sewn together...
[and not all that straight either!!!]
;((((((
;))))
But I love the randomness
that comes out of 
my "cut-as-you-go" method.

[Approx 11" wide by 14"-16" long)
I plan on cutting squares--
and I am
still deciding on final sizing
for these.

It took longer than I thought 
to sew these together.
👀👀👀
Above is about 2 hrs work...
😣
I think this will be a 
l o  n  g
project...
And,
I do need to cut more of a variety
of 1.5" strips to work with.

I am happy to report that our weather has
cooled down considerably and the
humidity leveled off enough early
this morning so we could have our coffee
out on our back deck...YAY!!
