Sketching With Thread

           I recently came across this awesome stitch book. It reminded me of another site where someone sewed up a quick book of random scraps of fabric. It was going to be her embroidery ‘sketchbook’, a place to doodle with thread and needle. What a cool fun concept. I’ve been dying to make one ever since. A place to practice different techniques, draw with thread and have fun.
           Then I ran across this stitch work book created by Kat Coyle. She was teaching a class to some students and had them create their own books using books on famous art and artists as inspiration. (Which the art history lover of me thinks is such a great idea!) Isn’t it just amazing?! I just love this idea.
           Lately I’ve been trying to overcome the procrastinator in me and finish up some craft projects that have been a long time in the making. I finished one – pictures later, and am almost finished with another one. What a great feeling!  Now to get in the habit of just finishing them. :)

  1. I love this. Thanks for sharing it. I love all the color on your blog. Visiting makes me quite happy. I want to connect with you artist to artist, I'm just never quite sure how to. I think I just want a piece of your raw creative talent to rub off on me. Yeah, I'd be okay with that. ;)
