Finished stitching my Oversight series.

12 small stitched poem-objects in wool, linen, cotton, silk, stitched on canvaswork mesh and edged in glass beads.

Twelve squares of embroidery on a grey background. Each square is stitched with four four-letter words in a grid, such as 'they know your name', 'they sold your data' and 'they read your file'. Each square is stitched in the same grid font, but the colours vary from square to square, mainly blues, greys beige.

I finished the stitching on this a few days ago and forgot to post. Looking forward to finishing the edging.

We headed to Exeter today because the weather forecast was wet and windy. Thankfully, we managed to avoid the worst of the rain while wandering about the cathedral. It has some really lovely examples of canvaswork, so taken lots of photos to update my talk with

I'm a little obsessed, so more will be spammed.
Two squares of stitching, the frontmost one reads 'onus lies with user' in dark purple on a pale green background, the backgrounded one reads 'near miss then this' in tan stitches, with pale grey toned background stitches. The squares is edged in beadwork.

I might make them into floatie things. I might not.

I am already making more. Try stop me. (don't.)

New shape! A small plummy purply shape I finished today as a kind of colour test. I wasn't sure if it would be okay with a white edge, but I think it works.

Already stitching the next one :D

Four stitched shapes on a white background. Each shape is a soft arched D shape with a geometric pattern in different colours.

More stitching from some months ago.

Apologies if photos of older work aren't as interesting. I'm finding a lot of value in going back and revisiting - as I make decisions about colours, textures and patterns in my new work.

I have these pieces out again looking and thinking. I stitched them about 18 months ago.

A new stitched and beaded series on the way. I'm currently obsessed with the new colour 'olo' - so this will be a little homage.

When I'm working on a new piece, I often create a 'side cloth' where I can do a few quick stitches to try out a colour, stitch or thread. It really helps me make decisions and not have so much unstitching.
Do you sample as you work?
#embroidery #handembroidery #canvaswork #needlepoint #sampling
Mesh canvas with sampled needlepoint stitches in various colours and threads. Mostly letters, but also some grids of crossed stitches.

An embroidered shape, in greens and greys. The white mesh fabric it's stitched on is visible around the edge. The stitches are simple straight stitches in different lengths forming simple geometric areas.

I'm stitching a cushion cover! If you're interested in the process (or why I say these aren't autumnal colours) you can follow the progress on my ko-fi blog. (No paywall, just me being chatty.) ko-fi.com/post/Cushion...
