Inspired by my previous stitching of a similar pot I stitched this piece, using a different shape this time. I used fabric from my naturally dyed pile. And, as for the stitches, kantha stitch is what I had in mind.
Begins with a simple outline... same stitch repeats....
"Your hand opens and closes, and opens and closes.
If it were always a fist or always stretched open
you would be paralyzed.
Your deepest presence
is in every small contraction and expansion,
the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated
as bird wings.”

ReplyDeleteGaia, I just LOVE the embroidery panels you come up with. The flowers and vines are all so beautiful every time. I'm curious to know how long it takes you to complete the embroidery of something this size. I really admire your work ;) Wendy
ReplyDeleteThank you, Wendy. This piece took about month and a half to complete.
DeleteYour stitched piece looks wonderful Gaia!! I also really enjoyed Rumi's verse.
ReplyDeleteI really like what you have done with your pieces of natural dyed fabric.
