Well, gentle readers..
I took a few photos of the pieces
that I am still working on for
my
Slow Stitch String Book
 |
| Black Bean dyed cotton with bleached and over dyed sari silk. |
which we will make on the next video..
 |
| Tea dyed and stitched cotton textile |
one more video and then we are taking our summer
vacation..
 |
| Tea dyed Khadi paper stitched with mono printed fabric |
 |
We had planned a trip to visit family to celebrate a birthday,
but that was cancelled..
due to Covid..
so very much has changed..
but stitching hasn't changed..
I can still rely on it
for it's curative
repairs..

| Caterina Giglio, mixed media, slow stitching. |
stitching,
centers me..
as the needle marries paper and fabrics..
creating a path all its own.
moving gently on ..
with no concern of where that pathway leads..
the piece,
or me..
I loose my attachments and just focus on this
present moment..
my breath, a sip of tea..
and I make space for the
the wonky and wabi sabi..
in myself and in my work.
A little string book will be perfect for imperfect pages
and will allow them to be worked on
time and time again..
See you next week
my dear readers..
be well and as always,
thank you..
Ciao, Ciao!
