From a recent workshop with Ilze Aviks, "Telling Your Story in Stitch", this was a 10-minute exercise in telling either a real story or an imaginary one, with fabric, stitch, and color. With an extremely limited palate in class, it was an interesting challenge. Commercial fabrics, hand-stitched, later enhanced with color-transfer crayons. (No, I'm not telling what the story is ... I think the mystery is better than the story!)

There is something very sweet about this...I don't mean in a bad way, it is very appealing.
ReplyDeleteI think it's very sweet, too, because it makes me think of my three little grandsons swinging on the swingset in our back yard.
ReplyDeleteIs is 3 Little Pigs?

Nope ... it's not a swingset and it's not the 3 Little Pigs ... although the more I look at it, the more it looks like one or both! I love the idea that everyone sees something different in it. Thanks for the comments!
