Yesterday I was very creative at our demonstration table in the museum: my first collage that isn't just paper & paint. There was no audience (people probably used the rare sunshine for outdoor events), but we had fun! Now some small embroidery in gold to finish it. Should I make more collages with textile parts? 🤔 @embroidery @fibrearts @fiberarts

Mixed-media collage (paper, lace, silk, fabric ribbon, embroidery) on beige fabric, 15x15 cm.) The colours are harmonious, ranging from yellow to orange to reddish brown, and the embroidery is purple and pea green. The collage in a varied cross composition shows a sentence from a German book and words such as "harmonie", "kindness", "douceur et romantisme", and small photographed roses. It's not ready yet.

    I've been collecting too many lichen photos, so here's a small photo dump of a few of them. I find the flat ones just as interesting as the curly ones, and they're all the more interesting the closer you look.

    That last one was an alpine forest species, and much larger than the others

    Closeup of a thick tangled blob of grey lichen sitting on top of a wooden fence rail, with another black lichen stretching out flat across the wooden surface. It looks like someone has dropped a piece of grey blobby fruit on the floor, and all its black juice has dribbled out into a puddle
    Another collection of variable-coloured lichen. The strongest ones here are a bright orange flakey-looking one with raised cups, and a silver-grey one above it. However, there's a more upright orange one in the top corner that looks like flames, a different grey one with little hairs coming out of the sides of its lobes, and a mixture of flat ones in shades of brown, black, grey and white filling in the gaps between them all

    Experiments with and
    This is a mixture of different ideas on a poor quality print - single strand / doudle strand / sketchy / detailed
    I'm afraid (as I suspected @BjornIdle ) the detailed approach is winnjng out. This is not going to be the "quick project" I had in mind 🤣

Outlines that would normally be are to make the project double-sided. I should be able to finish the second copy tonight.

    An embroidery on a pale natural linen. There is a bone white diagram of a vocal apparatus, trachea, and bronchi/lungs. In between the branches of the bronchioles are small words embroidered in cursive in thin burgundy thread. They read: she breathed. Inhaled. exhaled. she knew. that breathing. was beauty. was the way. inside. to outside. when her breath. tightened. she found. ways. to soften. be still. to allow that. in. of the out. breath. to be. the. way through. she found the throughline. somehow. it. also found her. still. and breathing. deeply. each day was. new. each breath. a. different. path. always. through her. and. throughout her. such a. simple. thing, breath. such a journey. through. trees. and. branches. how the body knows. to still. itself. if we learn how. to. listen deeply.

    I entered this piece in Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival's Skein and Garment competition and got first place in my category! Huzzah! So glad I finished it in time!

    @fiberarts

    The embroidery on a black table with a blue ribbon and the competition forms. The embroidery has pink and red lotus-like flowers with vine-like stems floating in circles (one full, two half). Blue herringbone fills the space between flowers and they're bordered on the top and bottom by narrow bands of gold and green leaves on a purple background. The piece itself is on white commercial felt.

    @mem_somerville It makes me sad to read that this behaviour exists. Could it be a cultural problem?

    I volunteer in a French centre and (early 20th c.) with two international festivals and never ever experienced this. Not only that in France ancient and skills are strongly supported, meanwhile many institutions look for people who can teach these skills. Our group (the youngest 61) can hardly save itself from requests for presentations in
