3D paper embroidery revisited

Have you ever had an idea or a project just nagging at you and just wanting to come out? This is one of those projects. It's a like a little tap, tap, tap that my brain makes every now and then. This is not new. I've shown it a couple of other times in the past two years (yes, that's how long it's been). This time it will be different because I want to take it further. For now this is my latest iteration and more will be coming — where you get to join in the fun.

Part of me always feels a little guilty about just using black and white because in my creative world color is "everything". Part of me feels absolute delight. Color is harder for me than I care to admit. I LOVE black and white — more than anyone knows.

the original 3D embroidery piece

I found this disk while clearing out my desk. I made it a long time ago and every time I see it I want to move forward with it but I'm not sure exactly how. My ideas have ranged from writing a 3D embroidery book all the way to just making a huge amount of these to make a larger garden-looking piece. We'll see. For now it's the start of the RED month (just noticed that January I was all about blues).

Enjoy the weekend!

Happy New Year everyone! Here's a little something that I worked on the last year of 2013 and it's a new direction that I plan on exploring further—3D paper embroidery!
