The Sketch Hunter - Embroidery Work

Everything in nature is changing, and so is your story. Acceptance doesn’t mean this is how it’s going to end. It’s an acknowledgement that this is where it begins. We are all works in progress. To be alive is to evolve. You can play an active role in that evolution, but first you need to recognise that it is happening.

📍Samigaluh, Kulon Progo — a nostalgia trip for my parents.

'Perfectly imperfect' a visual journal ; monoprint drawings with acrylic-ink wash.

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.
