Some stitching and photos from 'that COVID year'...

Samplers for the TextileArtist.org online challenge - a double challenge being locked down in Tasmania without my stash and supplies. But with a few embroidery threads, a bit of wool, a handkerchief and badge from lost property, the lining of a torn cushion, a feather and even a COVID mask they turned out OK and I learned a few new tecniques.

                                                     Collage of  'my life at the time'

                                                                    Stitching eyes

                                                                 Stitching a shadow 

                                                    Overstitched collage of old fragments

                                                            Depicting lines without a line

                                                     Using one stitch to different ends

And these photos are from around that time showing great patterns, colour and textures, The succulents both bold and delicate, the lemon rich and full of juice, and not the way we usually see it, and the fungi, yet another fascinating variety -
