So am in that place at the end of one piece of work and approaching another. Ideas are always mergling around so that is not the problem. Motivation is. Once I get into my groove and start making marks be it with dye, paint or stitch I am fine! The marshes at Blakeney Norfolk will form a starting point I think. Don’t know how much I will share, I never do! Got to guard the gold or I can stop completely, but can share a sketch that is not the one I will use to move forward. Keep moving forward even if it is only tiny steps…

Have completed my tree embroidery on Lithuanian linen. All hand embroidery free stitching with Pebeo dye washes. I decided to make it into a cushion cover with some of the ticking I had in the studio to frame the linen. I made some embroidery marks on the ticking as well but have come to a natural conclusion now. The embroidery is more flexible so can become a usable textile piece as I haven’t put oil paint elements on this.
