Both Barry and I have been unwell for a week or so, and the creativity has been limited as a result. I have managed to continue to prepare samples for teaching next weekend; and to fix a couple of weather grams and re-hang them.
Lovely little bits of peace work seem the right thing to do when you can't do much else!
One of the things I really like to do is to handstitch my handwriting on paper.
So here is pax under way,
and completed.
And the outline stitching and filling in stitching of individual heartbeat script letters....
And doodling with white gel pens
I also bought couple of white ink stamp pads and have been practising with some alphabet stamps I have.
And then the sewing machine came out and off we went with machine stitching on paper. Another delight!
There really are so many options and possibilities using white on white I think.
Workshop notes almost finished as we head into a rather busy week; and this time next week it will all be done!
As mentioned I also repaired a couple of weather gams and re-hung them. It is good to have a few more flying again; and now they are accompanied by tender shoots of green - peace emerging I hope.

Thank you Solveig - I agree! White on white is very calming and serene I think. It makes you slow down and go gently...
DeleteYou and Barry are the most productive people I have ever seen ... even in illness!
ReplyDeleteMay you both be well ...
And we are Liz - thank you. Occasionally we remember we need to be slower and our bodies remind us when they say nope, enough!
DeleteI love stitching on paper, often white on white, which I sometimes paint colour on after. Contrast in textures is brilliant.... wish I were so productive well, let alone sick!
ReplyDeleteStitching on paper is wonderful thing isn't it Beverley!?!?!? I love it and I love the texture afterwards...
