25/4/25

 ANZAC Day. Lots of stories about the world wars and other wars our people were involved in. Some amazing stories! Many sad stories. 

But I took the day off and tried not to get involved in all the stories - and the upcoming election!

I am working on a small tapestry. The theme is about Where the Road Leads. Initially I wanted to do a road leading to a grave - after all, that is where we end up.  But I decided that was probably too depressing. 

So I am working on an image that has road signs that indicate the trials of our travels through life. Lots of warnings, turn arounds, etc. 

I was having trouble doing all the signs so have reduced the number that I had thought to use. 

I decided to make the background grass - we are currently in an unofficial drought  - not sure why it isn't being declared. So I have been influenced by that! 

I have also tried to use up some of the bits and pieces used in other pieces. Therefore, the green is a bit random. 


Here is an image of the piece so far.
