Working with mixed media stitched textiles gives me great pleasure.
As well as the joy in the art of making and exploring, there are the friendships formed as work grows.
A first attempt at combining abstract bridge images with stitch, this image was printed on paper and the free stitch completed on organza and then laid over the top.
Much work still to do but I think I can at last feel ideas stirring ...
Very many thanks. I'm away just now, grandchildren minding and no time to think. When I get back I will work on some more grounds and stitch some more.
Many thanks Sharron. Some progress with possible backgrounds this morning but a visit to my son to mind their children during a child-minding crisis has somewhat interrupted the flow ... But it was great fun!
Oh I love this. Huge potential here....your mark making is very inspiring! I'm a big fan of organza...it never disappoints, does it?!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marny. I'm comparatively new to the pleasures of organza but I think this may be the way to go with this ...
DeleteWhoa, that is really outstanding, Margaret!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Connie. I'm hoping it will lead onto something larger ... Time will tell ...
DeleteHave to say I like this idea of "floating" stitching.
ReplyDeleteVery many thanks ... Floating seems appropriate to suggest water ... And as a contrast to the heavier shapes of the bridge structure
DeleteOh, you are on a good flight...ways to go, marks and shapes and movement...I'm excited with with this image and the ones before!!
ReplyDeleteVery many thanks. I'm away just now, grandchildren minding and no time to think. When I get back I will work on some more grounds and stitch some more.
DeleteFabulous movement - looking forward to the development.
ReplyDeleteThank you - lots to try out , both with the background and with the stitching - but a start ...
DeleteLove your floating stitches ! I can sure see how this is stirring up ideas for you ... great avenue !
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Sharron. Some progress with possible backgrounds this morning but a visit to my son to mind their children during a child-minding crisis has somewhat interrupted the flow ... But it was great fun!
DeleteGorgeous textures and lovely stitching!
ReplyDeleteHi Josie, welcome and thanks for your comment. This is part of all sorts of trying out and experimenting. There will be much more to come, I hope ...
