Very Very Early Work In Progress, Here's The Beginning Of Another Giant Piece. You Can See The Whole

Silently she is with her bruised soul, asleep in oblivion. She just so often want to reach out, grab her face and whisper ever so delicately: you are loved.

Hand embroidered with stranded cottons, coffee on a linen background.

... people come to the sea, and see nothing but salt water, sharks and fishes. They say, “Where is this pearl others speak about? Perhaps there is no pearl.” How can the pearl be gained merely by looking at the sea? Even if they measured out the sea, cup by cup, a hundred thousand times, they would never find the pearl. A diver is needed to discover that pearl, and not just any diver, but a diver who is both fortunate and nimble. Humanity’s sciences and arts are like measuring the ocean with a cup. To find the pearl calls for something else.

The Sketch Hunter - embroidery work

The Sketch Hunter – 17cm x 14cm on linen

She carries her sketchbook everywhere, collecting ideas.

---------------------

The sketch hunter moves through life as he finds it, not passing negligently the things he loves, but stopping to know them, and to note them down in the shorthand of his sketchbook. Like any hunter he hits or misses. He is looking for what he loves, he tries to capture it. It’s found anywhere, everywhere. Those who are not hunters do not see these things. The hunter is learning to see and to understand—to enjoy.

— Robert Henri, from The Art Spirit (Basic Books, 2007)
