Hush

30 Paintings in 30 Days, hosted by fabulous artist Leslie Saeta.

Day Twenty-Two:  "Hush"

Doesn't this sound lovely: people's arguments and misunderstandings are ended simply by being knit into a comforting sweater.  - I've had this idea for a while but couldn't quite figure out how to realize it. 


 Thanks to the "old lady whispering hush" (from Goodnight Moon, as you probably know) this all works out now. I found the perfect library pocket to tuck in all the fussy people and assembled everything on the hardcover of an old children's book.

Mixed media: storybook clippings, old library pocket, sewing thread, ink, on vintage hardcover, 8.75" x 12"

  1. Hush now child. LOVE this Christiane. I was just on the phone talking to a friend about all the hateful, angry, loud people. She will love this idea ;)

    1. Thank you, Sheila! A friend said on facebook that we all should get knitting needles now. Agree!
