cable chain stitch

Tast week 36! This stitch was a definite funner. can't say the same of the previous one. As i was all thumbs doing it i turned the page and went on to the next stitch.

Assorted cotton threads, heavy rayon, hand dyed silk noil and spun silk on linen.

Just received this great ATC from fabulous threads Annica. Thanks Annica! i love the racy pinks and reds in the background combined with the yellow stitching.

dots and rocks

Another one finished. More dots and an extended dot concept as rocks which came from doodling.
i just sat down and it went through the piece all the way without stopping.

Have noticed that ever since i've been doing 10 minutes of blind contour drawing the studio work goes smoother. i don't remember now where i picked up this simple exercise:
Devote 10 minutes to drawing contours without taking you eyes off the object being drawn nor lifting the pencil or whatever you're using- form the paper.
It helps me getting focused and staying that way.
