Creating by seasons

Just a quick, short post to share a lovely blog and some thoughts on how the seasons affect our creative processes (I should really be working on my uni assignments). I have been reading lots of blogs from textilers in the Northern Hemisphere and how they felt during the long dark winter.
I think the effect of the seasons on the way and type of art we produce would be a great topic for research.
I have just made some silk paper for a pentagonal box I’m making for our Embroiderer’s Guild exhibition in October and find I am being drawn to warm autumnal tones (It’s the end of autumn and cool now here in the southern hemisphere). I wonder how many Northern Hemisphere textile artists are using bright spring colours like Jackie.

One of the great things about textile blogging is we can visit sites like Jackie’s to cheer us up when the weather is cold and dark down south.
Cheers
