Description
Starting with a blank blue slate, I began painting a ball of wool.
What can it make, it is but wool thread, long, narrow and limp?
But out of that ball of woolen yarn, wonderful things begin to emerge. The yarn transforms.
A bird of paradise is knit, with bright feathers growing into a brilliant crown of flowers and jewels. The bird sings and its trill cascades into the vast heavens- and the space is lit with life, furnished with song.
As a child, I wondered at the sky lit with fireflies. The stars glittered and shot through infinite black as we lay outside on our backs, after bedtime.
I never thought of their beginning, but drifted along in the mighty magic and mystery.
But now, yarn to a great design, I ponder on the Psalm: 139:13
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb".
