Just looking / and considering / how one thing can change in relation with another / how that feels / how colour looks / and feels / how we experience colour / how it is a very personal thing / that experience.

Inspired by traditional sashiko stitching. Sashiko is a Japanese hand-stitching technique. The basic technique is a small running stitch that follows the grain of the fabric.

Remember to think of your emotions like the ocean. Feelings come in waves: some waves may be stronger than others, but they all will pass.

That's such a lovely thing for you to say - thank you for sharing it and for the beautiful words.

I am constantly amazed at the artistic & poetic talents that many of my tumblr followers possess. Here is a piece of embroidery I recently purchased from tamembro. The artwork is entitled “hi, what do you see” tears and eye in flower (if you look closely you will notice three tears (beads) beneath the eye). The piece is hand embroidered with stranded cottons on a linen background and stretched over thick paperboard; it measures: 15.5cm x 16.5cm.

The first time I saw this image, I immediately identified with it; here finally was something tangible that truly depicted the mysterious, melancholic nature of my muse. I plan to frame it, then place it above my desk in my writing studio, among the other touchstones which I draw inspiration. I’m anticipating the first poem I write while this piece looks over me.
