NOBLE: having eminence or dignity; illustrious; grand or imposing; superior; magnificent
The first *WORDS 2026* challenge word is NOBLE.
Hmmm, a challenge for sure! Most of the group participants seem to be doing heraldry-inspired stitcheries, but my thoughts don't run toward title/aristocracy because I'm American. Instead, my personal response to the word NOBLE was 'something higher/above, something superior, something looked up to.' Transforming that thought into a visual representation gave me the magnificent universe up there and specifically the brilliant full moon that I enjoy looking for.
My embroidery here is definitely abstract, but it is what it is. I'm not really comfortable with this whole activity, so I probably won't continue. The format doesn't feel naturally expressive to me. But hey, at least I tried, right?
