Some months back, I read an intriguing article, took a screen shot, and filed it away in memory to use “someday” …

Then it showed up again last week …

followed in short order by Acey’s prompt to listen to George Harrison’s Here comes the sun “until you’re ready to articulate the way your own ice is slowly melting.”
Have I mentioned how much I love Acey’s prompts? Not to mention George Harrison.
Anyway, it was a short leap from prompt to sky disk … and thence to my cloth stash where I found a bronze-y cotton sateen by Tierney Barden and a richly dyed green cotton by Deb Lacativa.
The green was appliquéd to the sateen to form the sky disk, then itself became the frame for the reverse appliquéd sun. Deb’s wild threads were perfect for the details of sun barge, crescent moon, and Pleiades.
Sitting with the Texas sun warming my shoulders, I worked Jude’s split backstitch around the edges and tacked down the disk with a few French knots until it was all too quickly done …

No ice here.
