Remember to think of your emotions like the ocean. Feelings come in waves: some waves may be stronger than others, but they all will pass.

The Sketch Hunter - embroidery work

The Sketch Hunter – 17cm x 14cm on linen

She carries her sketchbook everywhere, collecting ideas.

---------------------

The sketch hunter moves through life as he finds it, not passing negligently the things he loves, but stopping to know them, and to note them down in the shorthand of his sketchbook. Like any hunter he hits or misses. He is looking for what he loves, he tries to capture it. It’s found anywhere, everywhere. Those who are not hunters do not see these things. The hunter is learning to see and to understand—to enjoy.

— Robert Henri, from The Art Spirit (Basic Books, 2007)

Silently she is with her bruised soul, asleep in oblivion. She just so often want to reach out, grab her face and whisper ever so delicately: you are loved.

Hand embroidered with stranded cottons, coffee on a linen background.

— Tamembro

Inspired by traditional sashiko stitching. Sashiko is a Japanese hand-stitching technique. The basic technique is a small running stitch that follows the grain of the fabric.
