stitched 18
i am not sure if i have said it on here yet but, one of the biggest silver linings of this pandemic for me has been to be able to create more art than i ever have before
it’s all i can and want to do
if my hands are physically busy, my mind won’t wonder as much

something a little different
because different is exactly how these days are

stitching has become like therapy for me
while i am stitching, it is like i am in a meditative state and all worries go away
i feel like the only thing i have control of these days is stitching my paintings
yet, it is not lost on me the irony that the more i stitch, the more life unravels around me
happy ARTsy wednesday friends! (on a thursday. it is thursday right?)
UPDATE: it’s friday. i totally lost a day. it’s ok. i’m ok…
paint, stitch
paint, stitch
paint, stitch
repeat
staying home is not any different than how the year started for me
it’s just filled with more worry, anxiety and less freedom
i’m just going to keep on creating….

with homeschooling taking place and all after school activities cancelled, Lilian has had more time to create more art
she painted and stitched her own canvas, has created some really sweet watercolors, sewn felt donut animals (pictured in last week’s around here post), and made yarn kitties (not pictured)
there is some good with the bad…

Lilian and her bestie Bergen. because she misses her like crazy
spring flowers. a birthday card for our neighbor who turned seventy two
Lilian is obsessed with black widow and has organized a red room group. i am the head mistress
she actually created this while school was still happening for a third grade friend who always likes to wear black but was being questioned by another third grader (who was wearing a rainbow) why she never wears happy colors
i have not drawn or painted many men
that said, when marc jacobs posted this picture of himself on instagram, i knew i had to paint it
marc has been a fashion inspiration to me since he designed that iconic grunge collection for perry ellis
i am quite pleased with how he turned out (he too “liked” it on insta after i tagged him on it)

lucky stitched 13 was packed up and shipped off to miami yesterday
a dear friend purchased her
it will give me great joy to see her again when we go for spring break
happy ARTsy wednesday friends!
after i finished painting this portrait, i wasn’t sure if i was fully happy with how she turned out
or if i wanted to stitch her
so i put her aside and let her sit for a while
and then one morning she called out to me so i sat down and began stitching her
i am glad i did because with the stitching, she became who she was meant to be
my stitched series continues
still trying to find a way to create on a daily basis
some days it’s more challenging than others but for the most part i am doing
happy ARTsy wednesday friends!
my stitched series continues
finding the time to create art every day is challenging but i am making it more of a priority
this piece sold before i was even done with it
she now lives in phoenix arizona
happy ARTsy wednesday friends!!
