Chris, this is a great piece. I think it really captures the time -- the types of needlework women would do, the black and white photos, and the soft colors of the feed sacks. I always picture everything from that time as being black and white, but then I recall going through some of my grandmother's textiles with those colors -- those innocent colors are in such contrast to the reality of the times.
I'm trying to fit as much ART into my life as possible, squeezing it in around all of my responsibilities. I mainly work in the medium of collage, and fiber art, or some combination. I'm trying to get ready for the second part of my life. That would be the part where I get down-sized and I become less valuable in the work force, and where I try to cobble together a way to make a living that is fun and useful to humanity. Watch me!
