I'm loving where my creativity is taking me....this mix of paint AND stitch feels like I'm home....
I have always alternated between the 2 ....a bit of painting then Jeanie my wee machinie would start a calling! Not that I need to tell you though..I'm sure it's been fairly obvious over my bloggy history!
So here is the biggest piece I've ever worked on......"Dancing Queen"
A 16" x 16" mix of paper, fabric, paint, freehand machine stitching and hand embroidery on canvas...
oh and a stamp from Hong Kong too!
The words at the bottom read "No-one but the birds to see her dance in her polka dot dresss"!
Its my homage to the solo dance-offs I have in my living room when the door is closed and there's
no one home! ...Come on..I know I'm not alone :)
I'm still having fun with the stitched animals too.....maybe all this stitching will help deplete some of my fabric stash..it's getting a touch unruly! So yes...all good in the hood here!

ReplyDeleteThat piece is gorgeous and you can see how much fun you had making it - it's a doozie!
ReplyDeleteAnd you have my brand of madness - "hello dear" still has me chuckling.
What a treat to have found you - this work is wonderful. I love the layering of fabric and paint - free style sewing all worked together.
