However the last few days I have consciously been trying to do something that is just playful exploration. I was very inspired by the work of Nancy Nicholson who is a British person who does a lot Of machine stitching on fabric she has a blog and a Facebook page. (Sorry not to include links to these pages, I am writing on my iPad which is a little more limited with that sort of thing.)
She has beautiful stylized images and a wonderful sense of color putting things together. For myself I am a bit more timid and have more conventional imagery. Well, it's all about the process isn't it.
This is part of a longer piece which I will hopefully photo graph later after it is finished. At the moment I have to stitch more on some birds.
here's to trying something new, enjoy your day.
It is lovely Michelle!

These are so pretty. Love anything with felted wool!
ReplyDeletei find 'playing' with fibres, be they fabric or yarn, very VERY difficult to do...somehow my brain insists that every project have a firm destination - either a particular recipient or a specific purpose....
ReplyDeletethis takes a lot of fun out of life...
thanks for the reminder that playing is the best way to learn and to stretch limits!
i do love the little birds - they remind me of the little stuffed ones you made a while ago...
enjoy your playing!
cheers

Thank you, why is play so hard? You re right Molly, everything always seems to have to have a purpose, so why is it that we seem to make rules for ourselves.
