Illustration Friday (Stitch)
Illustration Friday (Stitch)
Artist Trading Card measures 2 1/2" x 3 1/2", and features layered sewing pattern tissue, gesso, charcoal pencil, and stitching done on a sewing machine.
Like last week, this week's artwork also counts towards my year long art project, Operation Marking Time (#44 if you're following along).
Previous Illustration Friday offerings: 100%, Soar, 2006 Retrospective.
I really like this one. The red stitching is so good.

I love this Jeannine--the design is so appealing to me, and I love the mix of red, white, and black against the sewing paper. Great shading on the heart.
Who's your favorite iron chef? I always root for Kat Cora.

This is so wonderful - and I love the idea of your project. I'm in a similar situation, you've inspired me to do an ATC project for the month of February, thank you!

This is a great ATC! i trade ATCs myself and would love one like this ;)
Hope days pass by as quick as possible so that your husband returns home soon! Blessings for you both!

this is brilliant. haven't seen your blog before - wonderful that you are using your husband's absence and your longing in a meaningful way. At the end of it all you'll have him back AND a pile of amazing art! All the best.

You did a great job with this challenge! I was having the hardest time with it, just couldn't pull it together -maybe next time.
