That's such a lovely thing for you to say - thank you for sharing it and for the beautiful words.
I am constantly amazed at the artistic & poetic talents that many of my tumblr followers possess. Here is a piece of embroidery I recently purchased from tamembro. The artwork is entitled “hi, what do you see” tears and eye in flower (if you look closely you will notice three tears (beads) beneath the eye). The piece is hand embroidered with stranded cottons on a linen background and stretched over thick paperboard; it measures: 15.5cm x 16.5cm.
The first time I saw this image, I immediately identified with it; here finally was something tangible that truly depicted the mysterious, melancholic nature of my muse. I plan to frame it, then place it above my desk in my writing studio, among the other touchstones which I draw inspiration. I’m anticipating the first poem I write while this piece looks over me.
