stitching


i've been stitching on pieces of muslin that i've used for cleaning paint brushes and blending stumps... washed them and then soaked them in walnut ink water before i started stitching. i've got quite a stack of them, and i don't know what i'm gonna do with them once they're done...


i bought this book last week at barnes and noble. wow. what a fantastic book... i've never given making silk flowers a second thought, but the idea of making them from recycled sari silk totally sends me!


i'm also waiting for jude to make the 'cloth to cloth' videos available. soon, i think...

    Ha! We are on the same track! I have stacks of washed and ironed muslin covered with paint from cleaning my brushes, too, just waiting patiently for me to embellish them. I LOVE what you are doing - and isn't Jude fabulous!!!

    Sending you much love and many hugs this holiday season, dear Lynne. I hope you make many happy memories.

    I'm wild about your stitchery pieces. Perfect imperfection. Random and tactile. They speak to me.

    I was just thinking of your stichings on the morning walk today. So glad to get to have a look as these. Love the idea of using your paint rag muslins.

    These pieces are so lovely and inspiring. For someone who doesn't sew except for replacing buttons or mending a pocket or hem, these beautiful stitches on muslin are proof that one can find satisfaction in any size and material if one's heart is in it. Thank you so much!! :)
