One last group shot of quilted landscapes designed by students in the Stitched Photoscapes workshop I taught a couple of weeks ago in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Work- in-progess (and finished) on photos I provided for practice on day one. Interesting, again, to see the varied backgrounds, designs and colours chosen for the same photo! #howtostitchphotos #lovesunsets #landscape #lake #lovequilting #lovestitching #lovetosew  #loveneedlework #lovetextiles #workshop #teaching #michelledobrinart #mdthreads (at University of Windsor) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1KEuMZn6CL/?igshid=1rzmx5ts7a63

I need to work on balancing the tension. Thread eyelashes (I've just come across this term) are fun to look at, though. Some of mine form themselves into flowers. #closescrutiny #zoomingin #microscopeview #unbalancedtension #threadeyelashes #fabric #fiber #textile #stitching #fiberart #lovetexture #stitchilicious #texturelicious #mdthreads #michelledobrinart

Coming back after a long hiatus. This month  (11 June to 17 July) I was privileged to participate in the "Face of Fiber in the Rockies" art show, in Estes Park, Colorado. The piece I entered was "Rocky Vistas #7", a stitched photo landscape of Colorado Rockies - and the piece won a Merit Award. #faceoffiberintherockies #artshow #fiberart #artquilt #textileart #stitching #thread #photography #landscape #rockymountains #colorado #estespark #lovecolour #lovetexture #lovefabric #michelledobrinart #mdthreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CQmULFIHJF8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Something new I've been experimenting with the past few months.  Coasters: paper collage sandwich, fusible felt in the middle, stitched, and varnished for water-proofing.    #fiberart #textileart #stitching #mixedmediaart #coaster #doodle #feather #insect #fish #lovecolour #lovetexture #lovefabric #michelledobrinart #mdthreads

Yet another collective shot of pieces made by students in the Stitched Photoscapes workshop I taught a couple of weeks ago in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Work- in-progess (and finished) on photos I provided for practice on day one. I love seeing the different backgrounds and designs chosen with the same photo! #howtostitchphotos #lovesunsets #landscape #sunset #lovequilting #lovestitching #lovetosew  #loveneedlework #lovetextiles #workshop #teaching #michelledobrinart #mdthreads (at Tecumseh, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1H1Cn1HZwR/?igshid=qn13hec32gag
