It seems improbable, I know, but I have done another TAST stitch; Week 18 “Whipped and Woven Wheels”. I really enjoyed this. I hadn’t realised before how the wheels could be built on to one another… in pieces…bit by bit. Is this a metaphor?
It sort of reminds me of sea anemonies and starfish. I haven’t got the hang of the perle thread though - didn’t get the tension right and it’s all a bit knobbly. Nevermind.
I’ve also been drawing a bit lately… and I like this one.
I’ts a bit illustrative of my internal world at present…except that now I get to go off for a swim and I don’t think the girl in the picture does.

Ooh, love those greens! Very dreamy. In fact, the whole post is dreamy.
I’m always jealous of people who can draw.

Hi Cath,
I love what you are doing with the TSTC whipped and woven wheels. Especially admire the arrow like shapes flying in to the larger circle on the lower right. And then to the left the mirrored image worked on 3 spokes.
Good to see your drawing also. I like what you did with the shadows on this. But it’s the overall work that draws me in and makes me give it more than a glance in passing.

Gorgeous embroidery! I have done a little bit of stitching, and would love to learn more. Will we be seeing you at R+L this week?
