Two more hand-stitched In Box pieces

(Above:  In Box CDLXI.  Layers of polyester stretch velvet fused on synthetic white felt, hand-stitched with 100% cotton floss and subjected to my melting technique. Click on either image to enlarge.)

It's been over a year since Steve and I moved to Cateechee.  Many blog posts were written with promises to figure out a routine for blogging.  Yet, that really hasn't happened.  Why?  Well ... I was always rather productive.  Now I seem to be "super productive".  Plus, the computer is "upstairs" and the studio is "downstairs".  I know that's silly ... but ... once in my studio, I tend to stay there.

Before moving/retiring, we were always busy with our custom picture framing business.  We placed weekly orders for supplies and needed materials.  Now, the only things we frame are my artwork.  Right this minute, there are four pieces already mounted on acid-free mat board waiting for frames that haven't even been ordered ... including these two pieces!  There's really no hurry but this sort of schedule is still playing havoc with my blogging!  Forgive me!
