ART BOOK. This is what I am calling my little book of art experiments that I talked about here.
This is the first page where I just played around with stitching on various papers and fabrics. I used embroidery floss and yarn. I incorporated paint. I have to say I REALLY enjoyed working on this. I really loved playing. Not thinking too much about it just going with the flow. I think sometimes I get in my own way by thinking too much about something and I just need to stay in the flow. On the last pic I used a coffee filter on top of Aida cloth and embroidered it. I glued it on but it was a bit hard to pierce since it was glued. There was a spot you can see in the second photo that wasn't glued and that was easy to pierce. I like the look of the paper and fabric. I think it could be interesting in a collage.
I hope your weekend was wonderful and creative!

I really love this! THe contrast of the blue,brown and white is soft, yet vibrant. The cloth, papers and expecially the stitching adds so much texture. Beautiful job! You've inspired me once again. I'll have to start coming here more often!
Hi from another fishie! This is beautiful! I've been experimenting with stitching, and even needle felting, into paper, and I've been meaning to try some more mixed media projects like yours. Thanks for the inspiration!
These explorations of yours are so inspiring, love how you are playing with textures and layers!
