These days I’m just sewing every day. It’s dark, it’s cold, and the deadlines are fast approaching. Above you see my palette for drawing with stitch.
Here’s the second of five pieces I’m currently working on. Here it is held together with binder clips (I love binder clips!) so that I can check out the shape before I sew it together. In the detail you can seeĀ a dyed silk cocoon in the open space.


And here’s the piece partially assembled. Once finished, it’s off to the photographer!

The work for the Foster White show is coming along. Although the show isn’t until February, I need to have all the work finished by the end of December! I’m on track but it has definitely been a push. Good thing I’m motivated by deadlines. I’ve got two pieces finished, and three in progress. My plan is get in the groove and have time to whip three more small free standing pieces done before the end of the year. Here are shots from the first piece in progress.
