kites, spacecrafts and balloons.


You might recognize this design; as you can see I
picked the other one for the Wormhole series, but
I like this one too; I took purple, yellow, cream,
peach and brown for the spacecraft; difficult to
distinguish on the photo; the drop top left is bright
green.


detail of the drop

In 1960 Joe Kittinger jumped from a specialised
hot air balloon at 103,000 feet, he fell to Earth
at the speed of sound.
look here and here to see his jump.

  4. dear renilde,
    you open a brand new world to me, embroidery
    is something i never mentioned before. now i'm totally
    impressed by your work and the green drop is my favorite green ever, i love to use it in my work to. the strangest thing is that
    i even started to knit a scarf (?? thing to put around your neck).
    oh and i adore people like this man, who tried to fly,
    people who don't care what other people say,
    because they just follow their dream...
    have a wonderful, good week, julia
