wrote some blues


I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.
— Duke Ellington (1899–1974)

A variation of the wrap pattern I first used for no. 108.

Thread wrap in jet black; S6 but no marking lines. Embroidery in nine shades of blues, silver-blues, and grays. The quote by Duke Ellington is in the bell box along with 17 brass rings. Circumference: 10.325 inches / 26.5 cm; diameter: 3.28 inches / 8.43 cm. Completed 28 April 2012 (no. 115).

Sold to benefit Kiva.org.
