Some more experimenting with stitch and keeping everything abstract. This time I played with variations in length and interval and stitched with fine thread to keep it subtle.
I like the widely spaced threads and this fine (it was a fine crochet thread) is good for close up detail but I will need to use perlé 8 or even 5 if it's to be seen from a distance on a larger piece.

Oh keep going! This is really working well - I love the subtlety you're achieving.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I am keeping going! Lots more trials, some with more contrast ...
DeleteOh yes, lovely!

ReplyDeleteMerçi, Elfi ... pour moi le travail artistique est toujours au subjet des fils ...
DeleteGosh,Margaret, I do love the 'abstracts' you've been posting lately. Exciting and very effective use of stitch. I confess abstracts defeat me totally but I am drawn to them nonetheless. You are inspiring me to try again!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your enthusiastic comment - so encouraging.
DeleteI think abstracts are becoming my work of choice just now, but there's so much to try out with the stitch ... what works from a distance and what is only seen close up when the viewer is enticed to look more closely ... and then there is always the problem of how to generate the abstract form so it has depth and meaning to suggest to the viewer ... among so many other things.
