Only Took Four Years - My Work

To complete this tiny little hand stitched work.  I started it in the summer of 2009 and finished it finally last week.  I call this technique "Painted Embroidery" because it's like you are painting the canvas with your needle and thread.  I used multi-colored strands of DMC's perle cottons, and then I framed it up.  It's available in the shop, e-mail me if you are interested. 

Finally Finished! - My Work

It only took me a little over 3 years to  finish this sweet little piece.  I started it, then lost interest, then rediscovered it, lost interest (I think this is normal artistic behavior) but I finally finished it this past summer on my trip to Florida, and it feels so good to actually finish something that's been hanging over my r head for so long.   Plus, I like it!  An added bonus.  Now for even bigger things, I plan to use it as a focal point in a cloth strip woven piece ala Jude Hill, Spirit Cloth woman.  Wish me luck, that will probably take another 5 years :)
