she
is of the mountains
spirit
holds true course
rooted
in the depths of soil
home for all
because she's born
of earth

recently Karen of Contemporary Embroidery
posted some of her beautiful art
it is a mix of paper with holes punched in it and stitching
She told me I should try it.
This is one of her amazing pieces:
you will have to visit her
*
I will play with this more.....
I took a photo of this post card size art
against the window so that you can see the holes
no stitching in this piece
but somehow this is inspiring
and stitching on another piece will happen some day!

Oh, Tammy, your earth woman is lovely. This fills my eyes. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteYou did a really nice job, Tammie. Wow! =)
ReplyDeleteYour new work is lovely!! I love how the light shines through the holes! About the varnish....I use Liquitex. Personally, I like gloss but you may prefer matte. I think it depends on your taste and the substrate you are using. Like I said, do a sample first just to make sure everything is compatible. Let me know how it goes. Thanks for the comment on my new metal jewelry! Talk to you soon!
ReplyDeletethe clouds seem to glow, very cool!
ReplyDeleteyou are a genius with photography and now also with the drawings, those are gorgeous, i love all of them!

This girl is one of my favorites! The flow of her hair is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteShe's stunning, Tammie. I like the natural flow of your lines and the soft colors on her. :) oxx
ReplyDeleteI like the technique you've used here Tammie, it really adds to the painting and the subject seems to be intensified by the style you've used, very nice!
ReplyDeleteI love to paint but sadly the paintbox has been put away for a few years now. My mom was a talented painter, I like to think that some of her ability lives on in my own paintings. I think it's the most relaxing and rewarding hobby I've ever had!
Happy Weekend and BFN, G
