I started by crocheting some chains, and then using them as a loose canvas to stitch my message.
I am interested in creating something filmy and ethereal. I think I will keep experimenting until the "right method" comes to me.
An art project in and of itself, wereisobesotted.blogspot.com accompanies my hand-embroidered blog of the same name. Here, I describe in more detail how I arrive at my embroideries. I welcome your stories, anecdotes, and feedback.
How interesting! You may be coming up with a new method that you can start and share with others. I have done the filet crochet to make lettering. I am interested in your method. Did you create the statement? Is it for a friend?
ReplyDeleteWow that looks like a challenge. I think I would have given up before I got to the word permanent.
ReplyDeleteIt seems we all want our relationships to be permanent. But we are all in a state of such flux it is hard to imagine it. Is it because the world is changing that we have a hard time believing in "ever ever after"?
have you tried stitching on water-soluble stabilizer?
ReplyDeleteMarie, I am about to try that! I found some yesterday, and I think it's the key!
ReplyDeleteHi Iviva,
ReplyDeleteI found a video that reminded me a lot of your work...in that it is the kind of prose that you would like...not that it is stitched however. But it is artlessly done and I thought you would enjoy it.
