The making of a machine embroidered leaf. Check out my last post to see the different shapes I created. I love how these leaves are delicate but impactful in a collage. I'll show you what I've done with them soon! Autumn equinox blessings to you 🍁🍂🍃 It's a bit summery again here in the UK but I'm looking forward to cosier times, wearing longer sleeves and immersing myself in all that Autumn brings. There are things that happen to you that cause seismic shifts in your life path. There are hard and brave decisions you might make that will effect you and those you love in all sorts of ways but are necessary and for the best. Even though I know that I made the right decision to leave my marriage of 21 years, I still feel heartbroken 4 years later, I'm still working through it and probably will be for a long while yet. Importantly my heart is still open, my capacity for love has not dimished (especially for myself and my beautiful brood) and I am still hopeful of finding love again. Two more art journal pages with mixed media collage of vintage papers, hand printed organdie fabric and embroidery... Colourful hand printed organdie patchwork, vintage house illustrations, hand drawn botanicals on sewing pattern tissue paper collaged to circular card with embroidered detail and the typed words, 'Resting in the hard place', 'Allowing the feelings to emerge'. I seem to have taken some time off from posting my work. I didn't really plan it but I needed it. I have spent the time making art for me, journalling and going gently. I feel like I have spent so much of my adult life searching and although I know there will always be some journeying to be done (what is life if not a journey!), I have longed to feel a sense of home creatively. Giving myself permission to make art just for me has really helped me to explore process, style, medium and meaning and to notice the patterns of behaviour/mindset that help and hinder my evolution. I feel more settled now, like I have laid some stronger foundations to build upon. Onwards/upwards!... June's stitched moments and memories for Scroll of the Year. This is June Scroll of The Year. Head over to my blog for the story behind June's images. This one is the wood pigeon. Hand printed and embroidered patches ready for June Scroll of the Year. I'll be appliquéing them to a collaged background a bit different to previous months, which I'm looking forward to sharing with you.
