I was very busy in 2016.
I discovered the art of Free Form Embroidery.
I went to an embroidery workshop early in 2016 & had an epiphany.
I can use everything I know how to do (dyeing, designing, drawing, colours, etc)
to design Free Form Embroidery.

I have been designing cross stitch designs for about 7 years. I hate counting.
I am not really a fan of following a pattern.
I far prefer to make things up as I go.
A fragment of an original drawing I did in the early 90's.
It was to illustrate a piece of verse from Patrick White - 'the Song of Amergin'.
