Today I presented my methods for thread drawing - using four different techniques for this simple piece - to the Harbor Art Guild in Hoquiam, WA.
I used four different techniques to create this image - standard lock-stitching on a home machine, darning on a home machine, fabric applique with fusible web, and hand-embroidery.
An interpretation of one of the works of artist Andy Beck using acrylic and experimenting with using thread to create texture and add an interesting element to the painting.

This facsimile of the embroidery work as seen from the back of the cover is one example of why I'm not yet ready to give up on printed books. You have to be able to touch this--it looks almost real--and it adds a wonderful dimension to the cover.

Working quickly, but missed the proportions and so missed getting any likeness... Sorry Maureen!
It's me versus the machine. I started sewing classes yesterday. Something I've always wanted to do. My mom was a Home economics teacher, but passed away when I was 12, so I never knew more than the basics. My sweet husband got me a sewing/embroidery machine for my birthday. I hope it's going to give me a little chance to be creative.
