* I love to use color in my work, I relate the various hues, tints and shades to my feelings. I may be leaning toward some pink this new year, which represents happiness to me. We'll be exploring color in my new workshop - *Little Books & Instinctual Stitching* at @wayartyonder I'll be bringing lots of fabric to paint and stitch on for my students to incorporate in their work. Come join the fun, camaraderie and joy of creating your own instinctually stitched little book! Workshop date: April 22 & 23 2023 I hope to see you there!

An appliqué prawn, lots of layers of fabric and the red tentacles are the rolled hem of an organza scarf with a background of hand quilted cotton. Design taken from one of my own watercolour paintings and I tried to replicate that feel in the embroidery. . . . #appliqué #prawnart #embroideryart #embroideryartist #threadsketch #damngoodstitch #britishstitchers #beachart #handembroidery #heytheremaker #natureart #broderie #ricanoamano #stitchedart https://www.instagram.com/p/CAk6qXXHHCV/?igshid=empd9yvxq4bi

21 hours in, he is coming on... slowly. 😁 #threadsketch #threadpainting #housesparrowsofinstagram #peinturealaiguille #needlepainting https://www.instagram.com/p/B7vRoG_H0mv/?igshid=m4xv2wdmtaw3

Day 16 of #SeptTextileLove is line. A single straight stitch is a line therefore all my work is made up of lines; shaded, blended, contrasting, merging, outlined and sometimes hidden. I decided to choose a thread sketched piece where I used a black thread to ‘draw’ lines directly on the blank fabric. I then added appliquéd pieces of printed cotton.

One of the last parts of any bird I thread paint is the little circle surrounding the eye. Here I am couching 2 strands of grey cotton with one strand of black. . . . #threadpaintingartist #threadpainting #birdembroidery #birdartist #birdart #birdartofinstagram #needlepainting #natureinart #housesparrowsofinstagram #housesparrow #silkshading #longandshortstitch #threadsketch #hoopart #natureinart #stitchersofinstagram #britishstitchers #handembroidery #broderie #broder #ricamo https://www.instagram.com/p/B_PqiGuH8kA/?igshid=wvzw7rhmylo0
