it was hot

last week. too hot to move. it was 28º too hot.i feel like a princess complaining while the rest of spain and europe were frying in the 40s. but i've already paid my dues in endless mediterranean summers.
 i sat and stitched some knitted samples trying to move as little as i could.





i used beads a resource i had forgotten i had!
they combined well with monofilament and mohair.
 some knitted wire samples i had aged by giving them a patina treatment and painted linen sample as substrate made another surface design piece.

acclimatize

been getting up at 8:30 to be able to do the morning walk and pump some iron in the park before the heat kicks in.mind you the hottest it gets is 25C but i'm already acclimatized to the lower temps up north. 25 seems like a heat wave   🙄. 

 sitting and stitching, trying to use the ungodly
numbers of knitted samples.
this one even has incorporated knitted wire samples. it needs to be straightened a bit at the top to make it less airborne.
it's a work in progress coping with the heat and feeling awful complaining because this is not really heat.






some weaving done but not worth mentioning.
