Artists' minds can work in a weird way. 😂
Yesterday, I had the stitches from my operation removed and kept them. 🤫 As someone who embroiders, I am fascinated by learning a new stitch that is reminiscent of French knots. 🤭 I already have an idea for a new #BiodiversityShrine: combinations of precious silk and #surgical material, organ embroidery ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zRJWpcJPMo
#Art as #selfcare? Humour is a good painkiller! 
My #scrollBook is in the hot end phase: the #embroidery is done, now I have to mount it on the wooden spool. @embroidery @textilearts

🧵 For all who like to see my #scrollBook project in progress, I start a thread for new photos.
The idea: Having art small enough for a handbag or hanged on a wall. 'Writing' a #book that can't get copied by AI or people - but can be inspiring for others.
Materials: A vintage wooden bobbin, tea-dyed coton flannel, #teaBags, #sareeSilk scraps, #lace, #embroidery, glass rocailles.

My #scrollBook advances ... I love the effects of the variegated embroidery thread. I love the stories and thoughts stitched into the fabric. And working on it is a perfect thought cleanser. A textile #Artjournal ... @embroidery @textilearts @fibrearts @fiberarts

🧵 1/3 I like embroidering on paper in art journals. Because it's a challenge to design the reverse side. On the front, I decide how the embroidery will look to match the surroundings. On the reverse side, the embroidery will inspire me to further design.

🧵 1/ My new #VisibleMending project: This linen-yarn T-shirt is a memento of my dog, who once got stuck at the bottom with his claw and tore a hole. It's darned in the shape of a yellow beetle. To make the whole thing more harmonious, I'm going to do a few small appliqués elsewhere today.

Perhaps you remember my 🧵 about a new #VisibleMending project: https://mastodon.online/@NatureMC/109711176108409819
It will be part of a presentation in our #museum and #culturalheritage centre. I finished the #darning wild and intuitively. And was so fascinated by the colours that I worked on a textile #brooch (not yet ready) as an optical counterpart. I can even wear it without the #jumper! #embroidery #InstinctualStitching #WildStitching #ChaosEmbroidery #TextileArt #ArtistsOfMastodon #AtelierTetebrec #Collage
Attached: 2 images 🧵1 #VisibleMending A thread about how I work intuitively on a #project. It starts with a #hole in one of my favourite wool #jumpers. I bought it in Italy, so it reminds me of the holidays. And I love this delicate pastel #yellow. I have to save it! I look for something #colourful + joyful. Normal #darning is too boring. So, I decide to secure the #knitting stitches and back the hole with fabric. I'm trying out colour samples. #embroidery #sewing #intuitiveStitching #yarn #stitching #repair

🧵 And more photos of my Sunday #museum work on the #ScrollBook. People's reactions were interesting: from almost undisguised laughing by people unfamiliar with art to great conversations with interested people and enthusiastic children.
#Scrollbook photos from my animation work yesterday.
This was the most fascinating for the children: You can collect tiny scraps (paper or fabric) only because you like their colour or texture. And then you can value them, give them your own story with wild stitching.
I'm already thinking about children's workshops for our summer holiday program ...
