What Shall I Call It?
I’ve almost finished my latest abstract piece, “Abstract #4” as I’ve been calling it.
In my last post I showed you how I was auditioning the color for some skinny strips. I decided to do them in rust and tan, and here they are.
I was happy with them.
Next, I wanted to add some even skinnier turquoise lines. I decided the best way to do that would be with some hand stitching.
Well, I decided that didn’t show well enough. And in the first of these two photos, you can’t even tell the stitching is blue-green!
Time for something more.
So, I added another parallel line of stitching.
That helped.
Now, I need a name for this piece. I’ve got a couple of ideas, but I’d greatly appreciate your suggestions. You can offer them by commenting in the comments section, below. Thanks in advance!

Seeking a Path. I see a beautiful hike in this piece. Lovely work.
Thanks, Sally. It reminds me of the Little Colorado river (which is turquoise) running through the high cliffs of the Grand Canyon. (Although that’s not what I was going for.) 🙂
Where the Twain meet
Yes, Susan, I like your use of the word twain.
Girl power – running the hills
Very unique, Lorna! You’re creative.
Rivers on Mars.
Hmm. Interesting. And appropriate.
Blue Danube
A good one, Doreen.
River Crossing
Hi Janice. Yes, it’s definitely got a river vibe!
Convergence
That’s good, Barbara. Or, since I want it to be part of the series with names like “Daydream” and “Brainstorm,” maybe “Convergence of Thoughts.” You’ve got me thinking.
I was thinking “Water on Mars” but I like river better! I was surprised to see I was on same page as Kim.
I also thought of A River runs through It…..
Your project turned out very nice
Thanks, Ingrid. I’m glad you like it.
I hadn’t thought of the Mars connection but now two of you have!
Or “Wherever the twain shall meet”
I like that Susan.
Floodgates of Inspiration
Tributaries
I tribute you, Ellen, for opening up the floodgates of inspiration for us all!
Aw, Eleanor, you’re so sweet. And you’ve got good suggestions, too! I especially like Tributaries.
How about Cascade?
Yes, that’s good, Sue.
Canyon Rivers or Anasazi Rivers or Red Rock Rivers….
Those are all good suggestions, Lynne. Thanks!
