This is a work in progress.... I hope to have complete for tomorrow's update..... combining my own naturally dyed cotton and linen fabrics, embroidery using both my basic machine as a drawing tool and my basic hand stitches for holding it together and layering.... When it comes to stitching figures, I am always striving toward a sense of movement, but they don't have to be sprinting, nor dancing even, though they may.... It is an inner movement, a journey toward something yet tangible, and the echoes of the past that move the present figure.... that is something of what I am aiming toward with my various needles and fabrics....
more soon....

oh this is lovely, the green is beautiful and there is a real sense of movement in the figures,
thank you, the green-yellow is a favourite colour of mine
beautiful...
I love the combination of hand and machine stitching. At this point, I'm doing everything by hand, but it's so labor intensive, there are many things I don't take on, as it's too daunting. I have a sense that even I could draw with the sewing machine and your pieces make me believe it can surely be done...they're lovely. I love the ideas you've expressed about that inner movement....a journey toward something. It's a hard notion to capture, but you've done it!
thank you
please do try the machine for drawing, just put your foot down and go.... the trick is to find your own method of getting the stitches in the right place, the way you want them, but the process is rewarding - thank you!
This green is my favorite color....it seems to promote the energy, and you have certainly achieved the movement. Very gorgeous!
