* For me, instinctual stitching is like finger painting. I remember the joy I felt while exploring the possibilities of painting with my hands. Now I do the same thing with my stitching. The exploratory journey of the needle and thread making it's way through the fabric without a plan or expectation of what it will become is inspiring to me and a profound expression of my artistry. I encourage you to make something if you feel the need, don't worry about whether it's good or not, just do it for you. The enjoyment of working with your hands and watching something come into being, without judgement, is magical. That's what the process is about. * * #instinctualstitching #instinctuallystitched #littlebook #sewnstories #sewingstories #sewingstory #perfectionnotion #handstitched #slowstitch #slowstitching #fabricscraps #fabricpainting #handsewing #threadsketching #threadsketch #paintnstitch #fiberart #textileart #textileartist #textiles #artistlife #artistbook #bookarts #bookart #bookmaker #mixedmediaart #pullofthethread #handsewn #bookmaker #socalartist #beatrizhelton https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck_uxF2yA1T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

* I'm working on a new Tiny Tome. The cover was cut from an old canvas I had built up paint layers on, which makes an exceptional book cover. I've auditioned the pages and signatures and all it needs is to be bound and embellished on the inside. I still need to decide whether I want to embellish the cover, but my practice is one step at a time. No projecting, no expectations or self-judgement. Just focusing on enjoying the process and having fun. I hope this Monday is treating you well. ❤️ For information on my online class Tiny Tomes Big Inspiration, click the Linktree in my bio.
