Great paintings. One of these days I am going to do some or at least try, I think I am more abstract.

Oh they're great. I've had a couple of attempts at "real life" fibre paintings but have not had much success. I think the level of detail in these is wonderful.

I like how she uses a variety of fibers and adds stitch. Thanks for the link.

I spend about an hour a day studying different sites for inspiration. It is amazing what is out there. Fiber art is so fresh. Painting got very routine for me and I needed to make a change. I think I made the right choice. Although, I do love to paint still.

Oh Judith you could do a small painting and then stitch it up , part of my online course is painting and stitching together with lots of other Stuff as well, Its not really painting ( because i dont paint lol ) rather just adding blobs or brush strokes here and there and then adding everything else, its fun and i'm loving it. I've had some dye mixed up for dying wool and this morning i had to grab some calico, wet it and sprinkle the dye on and let it float around a bit. It was very cool to see what was happening and I'm going to stamp it with nature ( leaves and things) and then were creating birds nests with threads and felt or anything else we want to use . Its a lot of fun and opening my eyes |
