The Textile Artist.Org stitching challenge
continued for another week
(yeaaaah)
(yeaaaah)
who works mixed media, not only textiles,
had a very "strict" exercise :
repeating a "round" shape in a square (5x5cm)
defining the shape and the negative "rest-space"
in stitched straight lines
(first on paper, later in stitch)
Christine started with a wavy shape and I did that first,
but soon had other shapes too
like a full circle and a heart.
I decided to take some quiet gray as background
and why not bright yellows to go with it ?
my first "sunny" attempt
I noticed on the FB page that many stitchers
couldn't stop at four little shapes.
When you start thinking and drawing
there are so many possibilities ...
so I decided right away to make another one !
nearly there ...
still to do the outside.
YES
a fun exercise.
(especially thinking about "rest-space" !)
(((Els))) love your explorations, especially the long stitch heart on the lower right hand corner in the last photograph!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm sure I will use this experience some time, Mo, I mean showing something without stitching it ... (am I clear ?)
Verwijderen(that heart has more straight lines in between the running stitch now too)
(((Els))) I was having a dyslexic moment... I am in love with the lower left hand side heart & look forward to seeing where these take you next!
VerwijderenHi Els, have finally added myself to the Stitch Challenge FB - Christine is my lovey tutor at Studio 11, I wouldn't be anywhere near where I have got to creatively without her. I love your wavy lines, isn't it interesting seeing what everyone has done in this challenge. I've not taken part so far, one thing too many!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOff to the garden - aren't we lucky, still, with the weather? xx
((Kat)) it doesn't matter when ...! It will be available long after this !!! It is really inspiring to see what everyone does : gives you so many new ideas ;-)
VerwijderenMust be inspiring with Christine ...
YES ! so lucky with the sunshine in the garden (and today the drainpipe drain was restored : not a basin full of water that we had to empty with every shower !!!)
Like your explorations. They are very interesting. I´m following on Facebook but didn´t start yet. Too many other things to do. But you are right, we have time.
