Today I'm contemplating further surface exploration on the Flower Girl Field Bag. Don't know about you but seeing what other artists do is usually a great inspiration..not in a ~ I am going to copy your work ~ kind of way, but it sets me in motion. Sometimes I spend hours in this process and have grown to allow myself the time to contemplate ~ as though it is part of the creative process ~ and it is.
In my life, one of the greatest joys is experiencing what other creatives do, how they do it, maybe even who they are.
When it comes to surface embellishment I am time and again drawn to the work of Japanese textile artist Junko Oki. In her work there is a delicacy that I yearn for in my own stitching. Her work is simple, yet it is complicated. The stitches are brief but when they congregate and populate they become a collection of thin, short, delicate lines nesting together in mass. They're free and barely organized and beautiful in their simplicity.
