New Work in Progress


Over this long holiday weekend I did some hand stitching on the small fabric painting I've been working on since before Thanksgiving but wasn't feeling motivated to start a new bigger one. 

Sometimes, just like when I don't want to exercise, I have to tell myself to get going anyway, and that's what I did. 

I taped a large square linen embroidery I purchased on eBay to my work table, and instead of printing with the construction fence underneath it to get the pattern of the grid, I taped the fence on top, actually two fences because they are narrow, and I printed the to get the "holes". The two fences don't line up but that will be part of the fun making the design work.

When it's dry, it should keep me busy for a few months.
