Costura y Fotografia

con los frios que han hecho no me han dado muchas ganas de alejarme,de casa mas que a buscar telas usadas y mas hilos para continuar con mis costureos. tome una clase en linea con jude hill de spirit cloth para expander horizontes y aprender sus technicas tan especiales. ella tiende a usar telas en tonos mas opacos y oscuros pero yo siempre tiendo a los colores mas fuertes, no me pregunten por que.
asi que toda esta ultima semana mucho de puntadas con algo de fotografia enter medio y viendo los capitulos perdidos de downton abbey y muchas de las peliculas antiguas que muestran en tcm antes de los oscar.
aqui algunos de los resultados

Alma, Corazon & Vida

a pesar que muchas cosas estan aun en el aire, digamos inconclusas e inciertas, un constante me mantiene dentro de un equilibrio y tranquila, mi entrega total a seguir creando. Y dentro de esa creatividad, mi amor incondicional hacia las telas, sobretodo organicas, naturales como el algodon y el lino. la paciencia y perseverancia con la que debo ejecutar mis bordados, muchos de los cuales demoran varios dias, es una manera de estar completamente presente en el momento, evitando ideas preocupantes. producer algo bello es, en si, un logro, por muy pequeno que sea dentro del gran esquema de las cosas.
cada puntada es un paso adelante
cada obra completada es un acontecimiento
y definitivamente crear es mi leit motif

tag tuesday




 


when i was a little girl, every weekend my father would take us to our beach house on the coast of chile just so we could wake up at the crack of dawn to go bird watching. his favorites were pelicans although at home we settled for a parrot named clotilde. so my love of birds began at a very early age.

i never became an ornithologist like my father but developed my own personal love of birds through poetry and art. as a matter of fact, my favorite quote is from a poem by pablo neruda and i have used it repeatedly over the years in many of my creations and even at the heading of my ebay listings years ago.

i had purchased this quite expensive enameled button of a bird quite a while ago and didn't know what to use it for until carolyn's challenge. since it is so dainty, i opted for a fabric tag. it is rather long and skinny and i love how it turned out with all the different fabric elements i found for it.



....and here is an old picture of me at the beach house observing clotilde as we often took her out of her cage to converse with.
