First foray into slow stitch
I found the slow stitch process so peaceful and in line with the mindfulness I've been trying to inject into my creative practice. Big thanks to Lyn for starting me on a new style that I don't think I would have otherwise tried. I went a little unconventional with a close crop and a pretty loose mounting in a float frame to preserve the translucency of the silk and organza. I could have been neater, but it didn't feel right to be too fussy in the finishing.
This piece now lives with the model in the source photo, who I recently discovered owns what I think is the biggest collection of my paintings, from back when I did such things! **chef's kiss**
I'm still kicking around and doing creative things, but I've been keeping my hooping practice private these days. This is where I'll be posting my current experiments and creative practice
I'm deliberately exploring slowness, softness and patience, so don't expect rapid updates. I do have a bit of a backlog for anything wearable that needs a model, so there might be a burst of content when I get the time & space for that photoshoot
