Summertime Small Cloth WIP

A work-in-progress very much in its infancy. Using bits and pieces leftover from my sisters wedding and from the monoprinting I did last month and the teastaining also. If you read my book art blog you will know I have open studios this weekend; feel free to come along and say hello if you are in London, it would be great to see you.

the feel of cloth between my fingers again

I have missed the feel of cloth in my hands - the slow meditative needle to cloth - hand to cloth motions of hand stitching.

After watching Jude so much ( and I hope she does another vlog soon) I just had to follow suit and checker with cloth. I have missed the feel of cotton and linen between my fingers and I need to practice my needle work - such a satisifying piece of cloth to work on for me - I know the stitching is far from perfect but I like it none the less; it is for me after all and that's all that matters right now.

.... cells and windows...... musings on an artcloth.... what am I building with these stitches?
