looping, knotless netting, knotted netting, coiling, twining ancestral memory brain slows to idle fibres relax with finger's caress familiar process timeless rhythm fingers sensing unity connection space spirals slow languid graceful dance  the intention was for this to become a little bag but i doubt that I’ll do that now as I love it so much flat the coloured fabrics are cotton or cotton/linen blends & I’ve used undyed calico fabric as the base cloth the colours are botanical dyes from bay leaves, kawakawa, & harakeke - a couple went in paru the threads are cotton which has also been dyed with botanicals, mostly harakeke +/-paru i started the stitching last week the fabrics were dyed in 2018 & the threads in 2018 & 2019 she’s a slow process indeed ! I'm trying something new
something different it's a little bit exciting is this even possible ? a needle so small & fine astonished that i can actually get a thread thru that teeny, tiny eye my hands & fingers feel so - human clumsy & inadequate and then i realise relax breathe feel connect stitch |
