The paper embroidery examples I've seen so far are either geometric or illustrative. I wanted to try something a bit more organic and abstract. I hope to be able to finish this so it's suitable for framing (I already have the spot for it) but I've also decided that I'm going to take my sweet time with it.
Friday Tidbits (haven't done these in a while!!)
These are two links that I posted on twitter but I think they're worthy of mentioning here:
- Beautiful paper trees by Yuken Teruya (via a kind email message)
- Wonderful paper work by Benja Harney - site and flickr (via InsideOut - another great place to visit)
Have a great weekend everyone!
Very beautiful and unique! Love the idea.
ReplyDeletei just love coming to visit your blog - you always have such fresh and creative ideas! and i love this project - it's completely amazing!
ReplyDeleteI just tried paper embroidery myself about two weeks because I had my niece for two weeks and they were going to do it at the library but she ended up having the leave before they did it so I researched it and did it with her. Sorry for the run on, but I loved it! This, however, is like nothing I've seen with it before. I can't wait until you're done. Are you going to post more pictures?
ReplyDeletevery nice- can't wait till its finished
ReplyDeleteooo. lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteJessica - Yes, I will definitely post the final piece. I don't know what it's going to end up like because I'm making decisions as I go along. We'll see!
I love it! Great project idea...
ReplyDeletevery beautiful. I love sewing and anything with thread on paper. Which reminds me of a project that I need to pick up again!
ReplyDeleteThat's really beautiful! Such a lovely contrast between the clean edges of the paper and the softened embroidered ones.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this Patricia- LOVE. The colors, shapes, idea. I can't wait to see it complete.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely beautiful! this is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love this project!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be great with just a few of the spaces embroidered. Reminds me of sea urchins!
ReplyDeletelove this!
ReplyDeleteI think that is coming along beautifully! I can't wait to see the final project. It's surely going to make a lovely art piece!
ReplyDeleteit's so beautiful! I'm anxious to see the end result.
ReplyDeleteI love sewing on paper, but I usually use my machine. You always open my eyes a little wider! I love the organic feel of these shapes and the thickness of the paper. Can't wait to see it evolve.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful--so enticing to me. Can't wait to see where it ends up.
ReplyDeleteOMG I love your Blog....

ReplyDeletehi patricia....
ReplyDeletei have been doing this kind of embroidery for quite some time.. but have very pcs of my work.i worked them out with some of my small paper 3ds and they came out wonderful. its tedious... but the end result is just fulfilling.. if you want i could share some of the photos.i don't know what you would think about them.. i think they are very crude.
