Thinking about stitch

I have been thinking about stitch recently (before I started painting I was an embroiderer). I have always wanted to bring stitch and paint together but have never quite got around to it. Here are some artists that I am finding inspiring at the moment.

Emily Barletta




Matthew Harris




Roanna Wells

    These are very interesting - it shows, how it seems incompatible things, can be turned into something that looks good. I'll look forward to seeing some of your artwork - I asume you are going to have a go at something similar?

    Have a look at this: http://www.severija.lt/pirmas.php

    A Lithuanian artist who cross stitches metal things!

    This post took me right back to college. I wrote my dissertation on Contemporary Women Quiltmakers and I interviewed Mary Fogg

    Thanks for the link Anna, I have not seen the work of Mary Fogg before, I love all those stripes. My dissertation was on the marginalisation of embroidery and the art/craft debate that was going on at the time.

    Me too, but I still haven't got around to it, to many ideas and not enough time. Thanks for your comment.
