I was testing a piece for embroidery and paint on tea stained linen for graffiti. I don't live somewhere with buses and trains, so this type of embroidery graffiti is NOT in the cards for me. Mine will be just stuck in my sketchbook for a while until somewhere feels right.
Rebecca Ringquist stitched ddrwing
Oh my I LOVE Rebecca's work and while I don't want my stitched drawing to look like this, I do hope to have a similiar sense of freedom (Tilleke Schwarz is another artist who inspires me). It seems my embroidery is like my painting, and I want to get away from that. Perhaps I should start just stitching bits and bobs onto a spare piece of fabric without a plan :).
