A little stitching.



Last week I felt the urge to stitch. This happens. I stitched my workbook. Stitching through paper is always nice... see how pronounced the individual stitches are.



I'm fascinated by the reverse side of stitched letters. It becomes another language. I like to think there's a lost culture somewhere that would recognise it as their own. One day I'm going to compile a 'Reverse Side Stitched Alphabet Guide'. I will stitch the alphabet (through paper of course) in the way that seems most natural to me. Others might be invited to do the same. This would make a lovely book. Every alphabet will be different depending on stitch method. How would they compare? What would they reveal about the stitchers? I like this.
