Hand Stitched Leaves by Anika Mari
I've done a little bit of sewing on leaves before and it is a delicate but very rewarding task. I just love what Anika Mari has done with these leaves. Very poetic, in my opinion. Especially the ones with 2 leaves attached by stitches. An unexpected union that is both beautiful and spontaneous.
Question: if these two leaves had a baby, what would it look like?

Saturday evening experiments
My obsession with embroidery continues.
I've been meaning to try stitching on leaves for a long time. I finally did today! I used a reverse applique technique with a leaf. I am pleased with the way it looks. The picture above is a collage of of the leaves I stitched on plus a security envelope pattern. They are so fragile and precious. Anyways, this is just the beginning of an idea. I'm not sure where it will go. I'm wondering if they will last at all...I will press them for a while and make sure they completely dry out.

Saturday Morning Doodle Stitch
I was messing around with doodling on my machine and I made this. I love the raw quality of the line work and loose threads. I think the tone of it matches this weather perfectly.

Kaori Miyayama
Sorry about the slow down in posts. I was on vacation last week in SF where I found alot of wonderful inspiration! Things should go back to normal now. Anyways, summer is over in Portland which I'm a little bit bummed about, but I'm excited to see all the trees turn beautiful colors.
On a different note, I came across the lovely work of Kaori Miyayama over on dear ada I love the complexity of the layering and stitching. The artist achieves different reads of the art from different distances which i think is really nice.
