wow! It has been awhile...

...but that is the best thing about ART >>> it is always there. Just waiting, ready to be picked right back up where you left it. 

I have been on a bit of a studio hiatus. Linen as my preferred medium has been unavailable to purchase for a few years now. I like linen >>> the look, the smell, the weave... and maybe it can be found primed white or stretched in specific shapes and sizes >>> but that is not what I am looking for. I like a BIG ROLL of clear-primed linen that I can use to make all the shapes and sizes of my choice.

Anywho... instead of going on about what I cannot find, I took a look at what is around me. 

I reworked my studio to get settled in & focused AND to make room for my daughter, Ellys, to join me in the creative process. The result: beautiful wool roving >> on linen << in lovely little embroidery hoop (frames). How fun!
