Hi Y’all,
I’ll get back to watercolor soon. I’m enjoying brainstorming and creating these slow stitch kits.
It’s meditative to just sit and stitch and there is an abstract quality to my patterns.
Two listed in my Etsy shop!
Stitch Kits
artful blogging
Personal
Don’t take personal
Words or actions from others
It’s their perspective.
Art Prescription: So often we allow the words of others bother us. Usually it’s all about them…
Fabric collage with quote and improv stitching:
Wading Through Water
None of us know now
What life is going to be
Wading through water.
Art Prescription: So we go about our days staying afloat.
Fabric collage on vintage wallpaper:
New Ideas
Time to perculate
Bring the gerbil in to home
Off the running wheel!
Art Prescription: Having extra time to work on some ideas has been nice.
I’m hoping to soon list an embroidery kit in my Etsy shop.
Slow Stitching
Meditational
A needle, thread, slow stitching
Embroidery rose.
Art Prescription: Today while it was cool and rainy, I stitched the rose.
I’m putting together a kit idea. A kit would come with everything to stitch this mini piece of art.
It could be framed or made into a pin-cushion or lavender sachet.
Cold Rain March 13, 2017
Cold, chill to the bone
Steady drizzle and down-pours
Early springs revenge.
Art Prescription: So we have had record high temperatures, and now we are having record low temperatures.
Index card with watercolor and colored pencil:
Doors July 26, 2016
Doors beckon us in
Whether real or in our minds
What’s on other side?
Art Prescription: Is there a lock? Are we afraid? Are we brave? Are we curious? Do we want change? Well…
Index card with watercolor:
Shed November 1, 2015
As the trees shed leaves
So begins winter season
Birds sing renewal.
Art Prescription: As we begin the season of Yin, going into the darker days, I have a sense of renewal. Cleaning the clutter from the year…preparing for the holidays and my open studio.
Index card with Sumi-ink:
Judges October 26, 2015
Sitting in judgment
The five ladies brood and mope
The Peacock shows out.
Art Prescription: Funny what comes to mind while painting. And I’ll show you some proud peacock later…

Fall Posy October 25, 2015
Freshly cut flowers
Seems trees have changed overnight
Mason Jar posy.
Art Prescription: We are so lucky here in North Carolina that flowers continue to bloom on through October. We haven’t had that first cold frost yet. So I happily plucked a Mason Jar full of flowers and set about to watercolor them. Makes me about as happy as anything…
