Another sketchbook page done, an experiment with graphite, and an embroidery exercise with value.



Another sketchbook page done, an experiment with graphite, and an embroidery exercise with value.
Still enjoying markers, again on a Claybord, mixing ink and scratchboard techniques.
And to continue the chilly theme, here’s an exercise I completed for my embroidery class. This lesson was on value.
I’ve discovered that stitching with a stand is a very nice thing.
I’ve discovered stitching with linen thread gets my creativity going.
And I’ve discovered that embroidery may be the most forgiving art.
I’m pleased with this embroidery. I used Paternayan wool thread and a little Appletons with some sewing thread here and there. Late summer is shifting into early fall, so this will be my reminder of August.
