January 2014 Challenge Theme: "Balance"
When I first thought of the challenge theme, my initial
images centered around trying to balance my everyday pressures of work, play and
rest. But, when we think about our art
work, the principles of design play such a central role in the success of our
piece, that balance came to mind. I
think the hardest thing when creating art is to know when to stop working on
the piece and call it finished. So, my
quilt is called "Is it Enough?"
The fabric is demin.
I've used perle cotton thread for the embroidery stitches, each one
being a different stitch and a variety of beads and sequins.

ReplyDeleteVery beautiful stitching with lots of intricate detail.
ReplyDeleteThis incorporates all the elements I find so hard to do! I am jealous!
ReplyDeleteHandstitching and beads, and so well arranged to give a lot of interest.
As always, your embroidery is stunning. Each little square is a complete, balanced composition so yes, it is (more than) enough. It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteI see this design as balance in symmetry and stitching technique. It's an unusual interpretation that I think you've pulled off well.
