stitches
now
on paper
dyed lokta
on disheveled
bleached abaca
some little lines
dashes and dashes
some knots or not
on that linen sleeve.
the paper is a page from a book of thoughts.
the cloth has yet
to become its own story.
a long way still to go.
this is my fav stitching story so far....
ReplyDeleteronnie, i hope you will keep liking it.
ReplyDeletereminds me of my old drawing teacher who said to draw as if my pen were ants crawling along the surfaces of whatever i was drawing. love that you do this work after "work"!
ReplyDeleteoh, my...the textures and lines are so compelling. love the circles in the cloth. so round and full, i want to gobble them.
ReplyDeletereally love the stitching on paper, it has a very unique look.
ReplyDeleteaimee, your teacher had a great thought; and i love that i can do it this year!
ReplyDeleteh., the food/eating analogies abound
jean, it sounds so different, too, especially paper on paper
Those stitches and that fabric! What a delight they both are. Isn't the running stitch a joy to do? Meditative, soothing...
ReplyDeletetaking a line for a walk...
ReplyDeleteyour stitches and colour echo the season - slowly turning back to the earth.
ReplyDeletejennifer, for me, it's maybe the walking stitch
ReplyDeleteindia, walking away as fast as the appendages allow
henrietta, yes, before emptying into white

ReplyDeleteneki, yes, the two are wonderful in juxtaposition.
