Nearly done piecing my latest slow stitch project. The mindful act of finger pressing, stitching in place, joining and removing papers is now complete. Just some hand appliqué before I move on to the next element.
The colours of the rust-stained linen and eco-dyed cotton are so soft - to my mind the perfect capture of those fleeting shadows that dance across my walls at the end of the day.
Now I start to think about the threads I will use to bring more colour and texture to the piece. Couching and stitching. Form and texture. Line and colour.
Hoping for magic.
