Name this work

December 14, 2011 by Denise Felton 5 Comments

Susan Lenz has created another assemblage incorporating her gorgeous embroidery-wrapped vintage spools. This time, the setting is a sweet cradle. She says,

The work is done … but I still haven’t landed on the perfect title. To me, each spool is like a narrative … a tale spun in thread … a story told in yarn … a yarn told to a child … the thread of life as a bedtime fable. So … I need help!

Share your title ideas with Susan by commenting on her blog post.
