Gentle Autumn, 2015 (sold) |
...but you didn't need to read all that. Boring technical difficulties! : )
I finished off another little canola field. I left one in the Craft Council Boutique and it was sold right away. "Road Trip" - thank you so much to the new owner! I've had my work moving at the MacKenzie Gallery shop in Regina too! Wonderful news!
The Height of Summer, 2015 5x5" framed to 10x10" *Available* |
And I am slowly (slowest ever) getting this class sample done. It's so pretty, but because I've never done this piece before, I am taking my time. I don't want to wreck it!

It's interesting going back and forth between yarn/crewel embroidery and free machine threadpaintings. They are such entirely different processes. I forgot how fast machine work is in comparison to hand stitching large pieces. It's good for me to break up the style and approach. Too much of one thing can get uninspiring. I admit, I miss the hum of the sewing machine. I feel a surge now of wanting to do a whole pile of free motion pieces again! Now that I'm settled in my space, it's all coming together so much easier. The studio visits are helpful because they force me to tidy up and keep things fairly organized.
Today is the day I put all the class supplies together for the schools I'll be at this week. Did I say 100 kids? I was wrong. It's 125. I can hardly wait to show you all the beautiful projects they will be doing! Also, if you don't hear back from me soon, Thursday is the curator's talk at 7pm for the Our Prairie in Fibre exhibition. It was a great show to put together and I'm excited to share my experience with you. I'm not sure how long I'm supposed to talk, but I'm guessing it will be an hour? 813 Broadway Avenue, Saskatoon. The show will stay up until Feb 21. See you there! : )

So beautiful... anything you touch turns to something amazing. Love the bird... one of my favorite kinds. The embroidery reminds me of work my Grandma did before she was married. I never could figure out how to fill in the spaces so smoothly and integrated with the next colors. Guess I should be content to quilt.
Thanks for sharing your pictures.
Hugs
SUPERBE et tellement réaliste, j'aime beaucoup
Your work is beautiful. I have my laptop hooked up to a tv screen. The colour looks brighter on the tv screen. But your colours are not at all muddy on my laptop,, just less bright. Can you adjust the brightness on your computer screen? What we see is beautiful.
Beautiful work Monica, your thread work is fabulous.
It's just magical ! I dream of being able to do this j=kind of marvels ! Regards from France
