Visualize Whirled Peas

Freestyle. Center is a pysanky design found in Zenon Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs: A Comprehensive Album of Ukrainian Easter Eggs. Love that book. Around the egg are my doodles, which turned out to look vaguely pea-pod-ish. This piece is completely covered with stitches and is roughly the size of the palm of my hand.

Kristin your work halted my breathing! Inspiring, refreshing and brilliant! Sue Dove changed my life too by pulling me away from metal to embroidery, with her delicious book. Thank you for the book recommendation too, but it is unfortunately out of print. Do you embroider on felt? Do you have a source in Toronto? I hope you don't mind such pedestrian questions.

Please post more work! And send images to FiberArts....

Nigraci, if the book intriques you, ask your library to obtain it for you via interlibrary loan ...! It's amazing.

Thanks, nigraci. I really appreciate it.

I don't mind questions at all, though I caution I'm no expert!

I generally work on cross-stich fabric, like aida.

You ask, "Do you have a source in Toronto?" I'm sorry, I'm not clear on what you mean, a source for what?

I hope you post pics of your own embroidery!

Best wishes!

(and please pardon me for googling your nom de plume and figuring out who you are -- I'm a librarian, sleuthing is like breathing to me!)
