a WINNER ** and a habit
the random.org number generator picked 44. which turns out to be this is yellow .
please contact me and i'll get your doily shipped out to you!
i just want to say how LOVELY it was to read the enthusiasm about this project. and how great it was to see and "meet" some new to this blog peeps. and i wish i had enough doilies to give to everyone because i loved the thoughts on where everyone would put them. i think i'm going to work on making a limited edition set of small vinyl doilies so hopefully anyone who wants them can have them. doilies all over the world in all sorts of places is a daydream i'd love to make a reality. it's a matter of production - where, how much, etc. but i am starting to research. if anyone has any ideas/thoughts/leads on this, i'd love to hear them.
i've been working on a new idea in the studio. here's a first sketch of said idea. well actually it's the backside of said sketch. i always love the backside of embroidery. so much that sometimes i show it as the front. in this case that probably wouldn't make sense, but out of habit i always turn something over when i'm done working on it to see what it looks like. almost every time i like it just as much or MORE than the front.
i don't know if it's the surprise, if it's just that there's so much evidence of process, if it's the random mess...
the problem with this idea of mine is that one piece will most likely not stand alone. and i'm not sure what kind of fabric to use. this idea stems from my desire to actually do something SUPREMELY minimal with thread - simple. clean - but with a hidden meaning/agenda if you choose to look for it. i just don't know if it's going to translate yet.
on that note. i should try and sketch out another one. maybe on another fabric just to try it out....
have a great weekend !

Looking forward to see more bits and pieces from your new project Lisa. Curiousity...
Happy experimenting to you, happy days, happy every little thing.
:)
you have given
me a new appreciation
for the back
of the embroidery...
something we
so often try
to cover up...
but is really
so beautiful
and revealing
as well...
