That's Better...

It seems I'm no longer happy with machine stitch on its own. I sat down and added some hand stitch to this piece, along with a some text, and now I think it looks finished. It was a fun little diversion, and now I feel I can get back to the two more labour intensive pieces that I have in process...

Opposites Complete...or not...

On Friday I started this little diversion from the long term fibre pieces I've been working on. I just needed a quick piece that I could do, start to finish, in a couple of days.  I got to the thread doodling the other day, and it was a lot of fun just to randomly doodle the little swirls into the round piece.  For contrast, the square piece has straight lines.  I decided I wanted the circle to be attached to the square so that the edges were still loose and could sit up a bit from the square.





I'm toying with adding some text or paint or ???, but I'm not sure what I want to do yet.  I'll just let it sit and simmer for a while...

Opposites...

I needed a quick little diversion from some of my ongoing fibre art pieces and I wanted to sew and thread doodle, so I decided to pull out some of my hand dyed fabric and play around with complimentary colours and the concept of opposites.  Here's what I've got started so far - a half square triangle and a circle with some fun curves and swirls.

               

  

I'm thinking of some fun stitching, both machine and hand stitch to further the idea of opposites.  Hopefully I'll be able to show you the finished piece soon.


Until then, Dime and I wish you a wonderful Easter weekend!
