Something About Embroidery

 

Ever since I finished the embroidery on Peace, Love & Haight Ashbury, my fingers and heart have been aching to stitch again. I purchased this batik many years ago. Rosebuds? Asian clouds? Maybe just some delightful swirls.

I am not really sure where I am going with this.

It will probably end up being part of an Asian still life, teapot, or ceramic figurine. We’ll see.

Meanwhile, I am relaxing and enjoying the process.

    You don't need to know where you are going sometimes-the important thing is you are going somewhere and the destination looks wonderful. I am subbing the rest of the week and part of next so I may not be doing much creative. One last thing-we had Analie Belden speak at guild on Monday-she was so very entertaining-funny, funny, funny. She wrote the book, Thoroughly Modern Dresden.

    I am in awe of someone who can just start working on something and have no idea of what they will do with it. It will be fun to see this in a project in the future somewhere.

    Love the stitching on that beautiful batik. You almost convince me to try it. I haven't embroidered anything in a LONG time.
    Have a great week.

    I think hand working is relaxing too. Have fun. And enjoy the journey!
