Some of you are being introduced to my work for the first time....thank you for reading Judy's post. Our two journals, though so different came about because of the very similar desire to record the passing of time. I think we both continue to be interested in exploring work that comes into being through simple daily accumulations of stitches. These pieces will make for a great show....so keep your fingers crossed for us!Penny Berenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806619078160825540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-16741250445492757982016-03-22T03:44:57.615-04:002016-03-22T03:44:57.615-04:00guardo questo post e mi innamoro sempre di più del...guardo questo post e mi innamoro sempre di più delle tue opere mi emozionano<br />ciao silvana<br />Silvanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06155138311830933890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-5046489631369875902016-03-21T18:32:09.829-04:002016-03-21T18:32:09.829-04:00Thanks Judy.

I try so hard to notice one important thing-like the cardinals are eating suet today. Must be egg laying soon. But then Life intervenes and I forget to look.

They have a lot of similarities in that they document time day by day in stitch. Mine is very minimalist, inspired by the Finnish rag rug, and using the couching stitch over and over, using up an entire skein of embroidery floss each day and thus marking out the days with change of colour. Penny's is both abstract and representational, and documents more clearly her actual life story and the observations of birds, tides and seasonal change. I am so inspired by Penny's commitment to stitch and the joy that is communicated with her work. <br /><br />I've been putting the proposal together this week - wish us luck. We want our work to be seen. xJudy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-50272204379869338072016-03-18T10:16:45.354-04:002016-03-18T10:16:45.354-04:00I love Penny's work, good to see it's spir...I love Penny's work, good to see it's spirit encapsulated here.
