Fantasies of a dedicated studio space and time to create have overcome me again.
Pearl cotton, size 8. WIP on a watercolor.
But they remain fantasies.
In the meantime, I experimented with stitching a window frame and bush fronds (in crossed, fly stitch) on the castle print I made a few weeks back at a printing workshop at Artspace.
Peering through a window upon a Castle. Hand embroidery on a print.
I completed a layer of black honeycombs on a watercolor painting I’m slowing working on. Now I’m plotting the next layer.
WIP: Honey Planets. Hand embroidery on watercolor and pencil.
And I’m back to work on another large scale, photographic x stitch of one of my body parts. This time my lips, which my dear friend Rebecca shot and edited for me.
Plotting my Lips. I love the colors!
And always, 10,000 ideas.
Geeking out on the subtle but important distinction on DMC 975 versus 400.
And always, longing.
