if any of you lovely people are in the toronto area, my show antecedent opens next week at open studio.
more progress on this one! i’m quite happy with the ‘copper roof’ and this bit of signage. i don’t know if the roof was actually copper, but the colour seemed to suit the piece anyway.
fun fact: the hotel (renamed the “hotel victoria” in 1927) is still standing at 56 yonge street in toronto - you can go and stay there today!
i should be putting the finishing touches on all the embroidered pieces this weekend… and then hanging the show early next week. yikes.

happy (early) mother’s day!!!
i’m reworking the embroidery on this one - not finished yet, but so far i’m quite happy with it.
after much experimentation i think i’ve finally found the right stitches, thread weight & colours that work well with these pieces.
phew.

Hi! Thanks! I wouldn’t say it’s “easier” to carve… but there are things about it that make it easier for me to work with - it holds tiny lines incredibly well and it’s completely smooth so large flat areas tend to print quite evenly. Also, it’s VERY affordable - a huge bonus for me, especially when I’m working on something large! It’s really hard on your tools, though. I keep a sharpening stone beside me AT ALL TIMES when I’m carving. You should totally try it! Good luck!
colour schemes…
i’ve been experimenting with embroidering my textile-woodcut prints…
