The winter field book is finished ( I think.)
As it is long these two photos show the front pages
and the back pages.
This is the beginning of a new slow stitch piece with threads. It is a map of the enormous field from above with a further field behind. The red stitching shows the original pack horse path, still a bridleway and official footpath. There is going to be lots of stitching on this for crop lines, unofficial paths and hedges. It is 3 layers of soft fabric - grey linen and tablecloth underneath all secondhand and well washed so delicious to stitch in its softness.
I'm sure it will be a pleasure to watch this unfold! I love the heap of soft grey threads waiting in the wings.
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret, it is a joy to stitch.
DeleteThe book came out so well. I love commemorative works. Every time I look at it, I am right back "then" remembering the events and art making. I'm looking forward to your new piece.
