I am an embroiderer. Although it hasn't been part of my life for 20 years, it now seems like a good time to get back to my roots.I've talked about this in another blog, I've dipped my toe in the water a couple of times over the past year or so, I've tried to go down a different path from the one I was on in 1989, I've attempted to turn my back on the type of embroidery I was working on - but I've come right back to the beginning.
I am a hand embroiderer. I 'll have a needle, thread, fabrics, canvas and no machine.
I will start on canvas - which is where it stopped.
Maybe the path will become clearer - I hope so.
I aim to start slowly, getting to grips again with the materials and the feel of the needle. Trying out small ideas. I want to work with more integrity than before. I'm not doing this for anyone apart from me.
I want the progress to be mine entirely, not taking anything from any other textile art or artists, consciously or subconsciously, which is why I'm going back to where I left off.
So let's see what happens.
The whirl of 2024
