sloppy ????and who exactly says that ??? iYears ago i embroidered a
work showing the "lights of Haifa " , as i saw it when we came back
from the north , [ Haifa is a mountain city] , over time i saw that
night lights vary from white to Orange ,,, i used sewing threads ,
embroidery threads , hand and some machine stiches ..on a heavy black
Silk ,,,I offered it to participate in an exhibition about "light"....
the curating lady said ,, " one can see you made it when you didn`t
know how to embroider !!!! i smiled said nothing ,, Lately the work
was chosen abs shown in Indiana South Bend University ,, Same curator
was `surprrised ` to hear it was chosen ,,,, as "we both know it isn`t
a good work!!!" Same as first time i smiled ,, It is not my problem
that she has a Set mind about how work should be done !!! others think
otherway.... But i have to tell you that you have to set some of your
own rules about you work ,, and follow them ...


My work would be deemed 'sloppy' by the stitching police g. I'm a bit of a
perfectionist myself but agonize over the overall look more than minute
details.

I've got a snippet of fake fur wool that I got from a floor demonstrator at AC
Moore. I'm thinking that the fake fur could be used to add additional interest
to my whimisical stitching but am not sure how the 'thread' will handle going
in and out of the fabric, or if what I call 'tails', the little fuzzy
appendages, will display. If it works, it'll beat the heck out of painstakingly
turkey stitching areas.

p.s. I've got many fond memories of my two trips to Israel
