m100 - days 21-24

eased the pace a little - stitched the first 9 onto their background of bonded paper and cheesecloth







then 2 more circle squares
 and a bit more colour


i really enjoy stitching with variegated threads, watching the colours change as the stitching grows






and stitching unevenly - i admire fine, precise stitching but don't want that right now - it's surprising how much easier it is to stitch evenly, the rhythm builds and the stitches come almost automatically - for me it takes just a little more attention to form each stitch individually

fascinating thoughts of the focus needed to loosen up the fine even stitching, something I strive for but always get lost in between the stitches!!!

i find it oddly contradictory that i need to pay more attention when i want irregular stitching

this loosening up of the stitches by so many of the gifted textile artists around the world is something I have been very curious about for the last 5 years since entering the world of stitch & cloth via Jude Hill's Spirit Cloth, am starting to understand...
