Rachel WrightAn experiment for today's #ArtAdventCalendar. I was investigating an idea to used #Bargello for the border for #Placidus. I don't think I'll be using it, but it was interesting and enjoyable to do. False starts and dead ends abound in what I do!
For the #ArtAdventCalendar today, one of the #AnimalVignettes I am beginning to do in preparation for the next epic embroidery I am planning, "The Conversion of Placidus", inspired by Pisanello's "Vision of St Eustace", the Cluny Tapestries, and Elizabeth Goudge's "The Herb of Grace". It makes sense to me, I promise!
I'm feeling my way to a new way to embroider here, rather painterly and improvisational. So far, I'm pleased...!

In case anyone is interested, @virtuosew will be giving a talk in about six weeks about the design process.
I think my little kingfisher is finished!

My little kingfisher is progressing slowly, possibly because he matters more than I anticipated. But he is progressing, and Cretan Stitch is working here, too.

Sometimes I just have to undo something and start again.
Sigh.

A solid start today on the little fawn. Some of these are more successful than others, but I think when I have the right few highlight stitches in, this one will be much improved.

I just saw something about learning to celebrate even the small milestones, which is definitely worth doing.
So, to make a start - here is a Hawk In A Clear Blue Sky. He's only small, but he's the first stitching I've done for my next epic embroidery, a large panel inspired by Elizabeth Goudge's book The Herb Of Grace, and her inspiration in turn, Pisanello's Vision Of St Eustace.
