Do. Your. Best.
Mum’s maxim still rings in my ears, even after all this time. The power of words to linger, to imprint in your mind, to guide, to remind.
‘do’ is hand stitched. I’ve taken the stitches across the letters here, to echo the background. I love to hand stitch. I love machine stitching also. There’s no need to choose one above the other, just enjoy each process.
As this project develops, I notice I am searching for specific letters to complete a word. There are no ‘b’s’ left, so I reversed a ‘d’ instead. I could expand the lexicon but will stick to the plan and only use the remaining letters. Keep some boundaries, test some limits. It will only be a problem if I want to spell.
Thank you Beatriz. It’s a great idea to use 3 x 3″ canvas- I didn’t know they came in this size. Will check out your work and good luck !
Love these. Very Zen. I’m doing 100 days of drawings w/black & white markers on 3 X 3 inch canvases. On my Instagram: @gardeningB (#100daysofSharpie) & period updates on my blog: https://gardeningb.com
