Several pages now
Quite a series is now developing from my rescued book. I have stitched three pages so far. It is a pleasantly relatively speedy process as the total size of the cloth is A4, and I am mainly stitching the figure only. It's too dark indoors even to snap them at present, so here are the digital images above and below.
The one I'm stitching at present is below,
and here are some more in the queue:
I am enjoying the process of designing them - not sticking slavishly to any rules except using the same size, a page behind a woman reading in each case. But trying not to make them too different from each other either.
There are even more in the pipeline.
I LOVE these! Wonderful series, stitched or not.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sheila. They are a lovely bonus from my great downsizing of stuff - ironically enough.
DeleteDo I detect a bit of the "fishes and loaves" syndrome here? At least as far as my art stuff goes, it has always felt like as much as I try to use it up or give it away, the supply is never ending. ;-)
DeleteYou are quite right, Sheila. It seems that I have more than enough ideas even right now to keep me going over the edge.
DeleteThese are brilliant! I really like them a lot. It will be wonderful to see where you go with them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandy. I am not sure that they will develop into anything more - other than a bigger pile!
DeleteWonderful!!! A series of women reading is a brilliant idea, and your execution of the art is marvelous!
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon. Thank you for your kind words.
DeleteI am so sorry that I missed these gems, preoccupied as I was with a family problem and so time or head-space to think or be be creative. They are lovely. I’ve so enjoyed the (apparent no doubt) simplicity of them all and the subject matter - the women reading and their images overlying what they may possibly be reading. It seems to me a very clever device - with far to go?
