havin' fun...stitching

enjoying going through things i made a few years back, that have been packed away. i think this was going to be a messenger bag, or something... i went through a phase of making bags only from scraps and things that were on the floor of my sewing room - a fun way to clean up!

beautiful slop sink

not sure what i loved about doing this painting, except that i do love slop sinks in painting studios. it looks to me like each artist left behind a little bit to tell some story.

i have been painting every morning. since my sewing machine is still living in maine and much of my fabric is in storage, i have been opened to something new... wonder where this will take me?

nothingness...

sometimes it is nice just to play with a running stitch on felt for no reason at all. here is a tracing of my hand in stitch.

love to all!

yikes! not another self portrait...

ok, so i promised no more self portraits, but that was 2007. this is a new year:) i surely don't consider myself a painter, but i do love what painting is teaching me about color and texture and light and shape. some of my favorite textile artists, started as painters and so, perhaps i can learn something from the process. i like to imagine this painting done in cloth and stitch...
