| "Seed Stitches" by Penny Nickels |
The last few weeks I seem to be researching on more than just one front. I love needlework of all kinds (as I mentioned last week) and I found another book: "Hoopla, the art of unexpected embroidery" by Leanne Prain. There was, once again, work by Penny Nickels. This piece was done with hand-spun silk and commercial floss on hand-dyed silk, husks and seeds.

| Home Invasion by Sarah Terry |
This combination of bugs and embroidery by Sarah Terry is very appropriate in that they are combined with embroidered flowers. I like the odd aspect of it: needlework, traditionally "women's work" and bugs, stereo-typically women's fear. Well, at any rate, mine.
There are windows of time in my day that could easily be filled doing this type of "line/thread drawing".
Hope you have a perfect spring weekend
Love all that embroidery! I have three days off so it's going to be a great weekend except that it is raining right now.
