Thread and Needle sketch for Postcards from New York – Windows
Sketching with Thread
I mentioned that I brought fabric and thread with me to New York to do some slow sketching of my ideas for my Postcards from New York series.
These are the first batch of sketches started in New York. They were oodles of fun to make and I find the slow process of sketching with thread and needle absolutely perfect for capturing my ideas.
Some of these might get a few more stitches before I declare them done and I have another 8 or so in progress that I’ll share next week.
The next step in my creative process will be to translate these ideas into my usual pieced textile paintings. I intended to start on that fun-ness this weekend.
These little embroideries are likely to be combined into one or more larger pieces in the Postcards from New York series.
