Well, gentle readers.. I took a few photos of the pieces that I am still working on for my Slow Stitch String Book Black Bean dyed cotton with bleached and over dyed sari silk. which we will make on the next video.. Tea dyed and stitched cotton textile one more video and then we are taking our summer vacation.. Tea dyed Khadi paper stitched with mono printed fabric We had planned a trip to visit family to celebrate a birthday, but that was cancelled.. due to Covid.. so very much has changed.. but stitching hasn't changed.. I can still rely on it for it's curative repairs.. Caterina Giglio, mixed media, slow stitching. stitching, centers me.. as the needle marries paper and fabrics.. creating a path all its own. moving gently on .. with no concern of where that pathway leads.. the piece, or me.. I loose my attachments and just focus on this present moment.. my breath, a sip of tea.. and I make space for the the wonky and wabi sabi.. in myself and in my work. A little string book will be perfect for imperfect pages and will allow them to be worked on time and time again.. See you next week my dear readers.. be well and as always, thank you.. Ciao, Ciao!
