Looking at sketchbook work from way back and comparing it to current work for my embroiderers ledger. In these images there is an obvious difference in terms of colour but looking at the older work, the white, the lace like structure...they both say 'me', Karen. I enjoy the occasional foray into colour, reminding myself that colour actually exits and is valid yet I always go back to white in the end. Diversity....I adore white, others stay away from white. It doesn't matter in the end, creating with white or colour...both are equally worthy.
And talking of white, I worked more on my cloth last night but I had a passing thought that maybe you were bored of seeing that, it's getting a bit monotonous for you, especially those of you who prefer colour. Is it? boring you, becoming monotonous? For today I can vary that, add some colour. It won't always be like that because as I say, white is me, it's what I do....there will be the occasional splash of colour sometimes though.
