I am currently working through some fairly tedious passages of mark making on one of my pieces, so yesterday I decided to give myself a break and have a play.
Stitching on a piece of bubble-wrap envelope presented itself. Apart from using different colours of thread, the other change I made between the two pieces was to have one that was stitched in a fairly regular pattern and one which was stitched as randomly as I could manage.
The ‘front’
The ‘back’, here is where the differences reveal themselves.

My grandmother told me the back of any needlework should always be as beautiful as the front. And these are! I expecially love the black on yellow.(K)

I expect most grandmother’s said something like that! Thank you. I also like the black thread one. What I can’t share is the sense of touch. As I have been working on my stitching every day for a year piece, I find the texture of the work becomes more compelling. These also felt good.

Nothing replaces the textures of hand work. That’s why I could never convert entirely to digital.
