I’m still try­ing ot fig­ure out exactly how to pho­to­graph my embroi­deries. Either they come out too dark or too light and washed out. Light is hard thing to mas­ter. So these two below are dark, but hopfeully soon I will find the right balance.

I am work­ing on sev­eral new embroi­deries right now and hope to put them up as soon as they are done. Lately I have been try­ing to find the right venue to show/sell them. They fall into a limbo cat­e­gory where they are not like a paint­ing and they are not super crafty. The fine line between high art and craft is very thin. This makes it hard to fig­ure out where they fit in the world of art. So far I have tried sell­ing them in stores, that isn’t work­ing out so well, and show­ing them in gal­leries which is what I like the most but a sale is far and few between. And so the dilemma of the artist. I plan to keep work­ing hard and fig­ur­ing out where they fit–by the way I am super open to feed­back or crit­i­cism of any kind so please leave a com­ment or shoot an email.

    It’s funny but sweet; the hanky that used to hold my great aunt’s sneezes is the one I like the best. I like the lay­ers, the lay­out, the fly away, the col­ors and the fun.
