Well, am sewing away on this piece and it is taking me a very long time as expected. My hand keeps hurting due to the fine work, but I keep stretching and resting it. The yellow seems to be working and am seeing where it all takes me. I won’t cover this piece in embroidery though, there will be space to breathe!

Have started developing sunny arcs of yellow backstitch on my current embroidery of Blakeney marshes. My embroideries don’t seem to mind being shared as I go along, unlike drawing and painting sometimes. This is going to take me a long time I have the feeling. That’s ok it is glacial in pace this one, and takes new directions almost having a mind of it’s own! I will leave space too and be guided by the embroidery itself. I would love to see the Bayeux tapestry which is an iconic embroidery in fact, but worry about it being transported to this country and being damaged. Embroidery is so mindful and reflective as a practice, I am so happy I came to it albeit late!
