CANVAS WORK SAMPLER

This is a canvas work sampler I've been picking up on and off over the months. I found it again the other day and remembered how much enjoyment stitching it had given me. And it seemed to fit really well with my word for 2011, which is "slow". Doing this sort of project seems to naturally slow me down and that in itself gives me time to create. It doesn't matter where it's going or what the final canvas will look like - it's the actual creative process that gives the joy.

  1. I love needlework for just this reason (SLOW). It really does force you to slow down when nothing else seems to work.
    Beautiful capture of your work!

  2. I so agree and I have one I pick up and put down, I've been doing it for ages and never seem to get the time to spend on in, beautifully shot and perfect for your word.

  3. I completely agree! The creative process itself is the most wonderful thing. Anything beautiful we get out is just icing on the cake. :)
