I recently got a new to me sewing machine ( bought used from a friend), and decided this was the perfect opportunity to practice some free hand stitching with it. Starting from the flowers, I stitched random, sometimes curving, lines. At times, the lines intersected, creating the beginning of the cracks in the dry mud.
Representing extreme weather within art isn’t necessarily easy, but it is a topic I find that I want to revisit. This project was a relatively simple one that has sparked ideas for a dozen different other, more complex pieces. I am looking forward to fitting these ideas into my list of creative projects.
What a great project, watercolors, and sewing! Love it!
I love the way the sticthing absorbed the paint and looks like the dry cracked earth. I too have hope so the flower cluster is the perfect touch!
I love so many things about this Christy! And I think I may have to borrow the stitched (cracked) effect! Genius! And especially love the symbol of hope! ♥
