#intuitiveEmbroidery

I think that nature is a better artist than me. Perhaps therefore, my jacket and trouser pockets are always full after a walk in the woods. And then I put the stuff on the table and talk to it, or it talks to me. After all that chatting, I have a new collage. 😉

A rectangular (portrait) abstract collage on a yellow background. The composition is based on a cross with the intersection point shifted to the top right. It's made with different white papers (transparent fluffy mulberry paper and lace print) and nature findings (wild cherry bark, a grea lichen, a very long acorn (like a pendant), an intertwined structure (root?), and some small copper stars. The natural holes in the bark are embroidered with silver thread.

A completely curled and intertwined wooden structure marks the intersection point. If I remember well, it was a root found in a maize field.

A long acorn mounted like a pendant under a real lichen. It comes from a nearly 200 yrs old oak.

The outer bark of a wild cherry, native to our forest edges. It's placed in the focus of the collage. The natural holes let me think of a writing done by the tree - I embroidered abstract signs along these holes (with silver thread). They look like unknown letters from another civilisation.

Yesterday I started a new project: a textile #scrollBook, something like an #artBook as a #scroll.
The photo shows my work to find a collage composition. When I'm satisfied with that sample, I'll fix the pieces with wild #embroidery. Later I'll "write" with #stitches. More info: alt text!
