a thread wrapped card....

Another video. You're either spoiled or stalked.....you decide. This is the very first page of an artist book for me, for myself. The blank page fear has been overcome with a little tissue paper and a thread wrapped card.

There is a lot of embroidery going on here,  a lot. I'm just not ready to share yet, I want to progress things a little more first. It may be that tomorrow you get to see more work on this page, on camera.

Class has got off to a flying start. It's not too late if you want to join us. I haven't been to Flickr yet today but if yesterday is anything to go by then class will have overtaken me already. It happens all the time, i'm always last.

It is so small you could easily miss it. It is a tiny piece of wrapped thread attached to some embroidered scrim. I had intended to add it to the surface of one of the two blocks I already have embroidered for my next wrapping cloth but it doesn't fit, not comfortably. Nothing lost though, I plan to put another block together later today and it will then go onto that one.

My last wrapping cloth, the one I talk about in this video is almost finished, I am halfway through titivating the final seam. It will then need to be backed and I am probably going to make some prairie points for the edges. By this time next week that one should be winging its way to its new home.

Don't forget...embroider, embellish,create begins again soon. There have been glitches this week...big cartel glitches, broken link glitches. But if you would like to create a wrapping cloth of your very own then you can read all about that over here....
