Very careful stitching involving counting threads and keeping to straight lines along the weave of the cloth are all most unusual for me.
But it seemed a good way through stitch to explore the geometry of modern high rise buildings.
This page from my art journal explores elements of the strips shown above the stitching. These strips were found in photos of office blocks taken in Sydney and Vancouver which were manipulated and cropped to bring out line and shape in the reflections.
This time, I was most interested to exploit what I saw using black and white thread.

An intriguing page
ReplyDeleteThank you Lin. Now way for a short break but will post anything that intrigues.
DeleteI am always impressed with your work Margaret !
ReplyDeleteLove the way you see stitchery possibilities in these geometric shapes !
And I'm really, really impressed with the way you 'see' !
Thank you for your kind comments. I'm always impressed with your work too! Isn't it great we can communicate and see what each is up to - especially in these worrying times.
DeleteIt is a blessing, isn't it ? ... who knew how important computer technology would be for us. I'm glad we are not in the time of the first world war ... or the Spanish Flu epidemic ... tho' I remember the Polio scare ! Even then our parents must have been terrified at the time.
DeleteHope you are well and keeping yourself safe.
