I've been reading a new translation of Li Qingzhao's poetry by Wendy Chen, and in her poem 'A Cutting of Plum Blossoms' there's a mention of a 'brocade letter' by Su Hui and the reference piqued my curiosity.

Created by Su Hui in the 4th century her 'letter' was shuttle-woven on brocade and is an extraordinary palindrome poem(s) of 841 characters in a 29 x 29 grid that can be read in 2,848 ways. A stunning story in words and thread.

I FINISHED PAGE ONE!! Appart from the missing floss, but pssshhh. That pattern is confetti hell 😵‍💫 I even invested in a markup app, something I usually never do, but I was getting so cross eyed looking for the stitches in the pattern. #PixelSmaug #crossStitch #xstitch #fiberart #smaug #tolkien @fiberarts erart
I continued on #PixelSmaug in the last couple days and I go nuts 🫠 it's just pure confetti!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! But at least I get closer to finishing page 1. Of 12 🥲 #CrossStitch #xstitch #embroidery #fiberart #tolkien #smaug #dragon

A happy Easter visit: Alisha and Chris of the Ohana Fiber Mill flew over from the Big Island, bearing a magical basket of #yarn. We all cheeped with excitement!

Inspired by her own garden and her visit to Monet's gardens at Giverny, textile artist Kathrin Marchenko created a large 110 x 280 centimeters thread painting, 'Nymphéas Beyond', in which water and plants seem to become one.

The way this artwork transforms Monet’s masterpiece is brilliant.
