My #scrollBook advances ... I love the effects of the variegated embroidery thread. I love the stories and thoughts stitched into the fabric. And working on it is a perfect thought cleanser. A textile #Artjournal ... @embroidery @textilearts @fibrearts @fiberarts

A wide band of cotton flannel that is later wrapped around an old bobbin. The fabric is light purple, dyed with red fruit tea. Pieces in the colour spectrum of pink, purple and yellow-green are applied like a collage: saree silk, lace, used tea bags, glass beads. They are attached with intuitive stitches, wild embroidery.

Detail showing a yellowgreen square with stitches, a reddish tea bag paper and a band of purple saree silk, embroidered with lavender-coloured glass rocailles.

Detail: A piece of saree silk with an ornament print, other saree and a tea bag scrap. The embroidery is wild and made in different colours and with variegated thread.

Detail: The saree silk with glass beads, other scraps and white lace. Yesterday I embroidered intuitively some asemic writing with variegated thread. I like the effect that some simple stitches can look like writing because the scrollbook will tell stories ...

I almost bought some gorgeous and huge Ukrainian jewellery made from woven rocailles, which I don't have the opportunity to wear. So I went back to hoarding colours at our Festival of Wool and Yarn. Again, I couldn't resist the vintage bobbins. More in the AltText.
Are there more people who hoard colours against grey realities?

Saris silk wrapped in a strand, colour spectrum between pink, yellow, beige and light blue.
I looked for embroidered and originally coloured sari rests in vain, the trader almost only has overdyed silk: "people no longer want it too colourful."

Variegated embroidery thread in colour collections like yellow, rose, blue, brown-green etc. It is pure hoarding, at 1 E the strand I had to take 10, I couldn't stop at 7 or 9! I still don't know what I will make with it but I love variegated yarn for collages or stitching 3D moss.

It was great that the people from Auvergne were there again to supply me with ancient wooden bobbins: here are some in all sizes. One of the bobbins is wrapped with a self-coloured fabric ribbon. I use it to make scroll books from fabric or paper art. Hard to explain. My colleagues: Oh you embroider Thoras!

The beginning of a scroll book: The fabric is brightly purple (dyed with fruit tea). I placed different scraps from saree silk and lace on it and will fix them with "wild", intuitive embroidery like a collage. Colour spectrum: purple, rose, and yellowish green. These scroll books will be fixed on the wooden spools. They can be read like a Torah or hanged open on a wall.

@Hagukh Did I ever say that your wonderful macro photos inspire me to embroider #mosses and #lichen in 3D? Seeing this photo, I think about how I could recreate the grey bodies. (My first try was not very realistic).

Macro of a moss embroidered with French Knot Stich on a 3-D structure. Tiniest brown rocailles build the sporophytes.

An applicated mix of embroidered mosses and a grey lichen with red fruiting bodies on the bark of a 200 years old oak that had been cut in the forest.

I used my new geli plate. Lots to think about now re #StitchedEmbellishment

Collage of several botanical gel prints 7 onto fabric to be stitch embellished at some point. 4 are test prints on paper which I just liked and would throw away.

No quite #EnPleinAir (working from a photo as I started this one inside) but at least I am out in the fresh air. They're giving snow for next week so I'm making the most of it! Might count for my #SilentSunday too

#GoodAdvice, both with *and* without embroidery floss!

Found here: https://www.threads.net/@borde_mx

A text box that says, "The important thing is to start, even if it's not perfect. Moving forward with mistakes is always better than staying where we are."

Surrounding the text box are bobbins of embroidery floss, a bobbin box filled with embroidery floss bobbin s, a bowl of ORTs ("Old Ratty Threads", or the leftover thread after fastening off from stitching), some scattered embroidery needles, a small black pair of scissors, a small crocheted or knitted cactus in a terra cotta pot, and a white tape dispenser with Scotch tape in it.
