If only my days were just drawing and stitching!<\/p>\n

This past week I have spent way too much time on the phone with my server, trying to get things straightened around so that I can once again set up automatic delivery of my weekly blog posts to your inboxes. Let’s just say it hasn’t been fun, and I surely hope that with perseverance I’ll get it figured out one way or another. I guess the upside is that I’m learning digital technicalities that I never bargained on…although it’s all very superficial and, frankly, there are ways I’d much rather spend my time.<\/p>\n

Scott\u00a0<\/strong> \u00a92019 Elizabeth Fram, 18 x 23 inches, Graphite and colored pencil on paper. Love this paper – Canson Edition<\/a>. It has both a rough and a smooth side to choose from. This is the smooth side. It takes varying pressures of line beautifully and erases cleanly. It also picks up color easily.<\/p><\/div>\n

In the meantime, these images will give you a taste of what I’ve been doing both textile and drawing-wise. It goes without saying that I’ve been grateful for any and all work that gets me away from the computer!<\/p>\n

Making progress on this latest…<\/p><\/div>\n

On the brighter side, consider a visit to the\u00a0The Grange Hall Cultural Center<\/a>\u00a0this month to see their new exhibit Body Beautiful <\/strong><\/em>which runs through October 12th. Two of my life drawings are included — a first for me since I haven’t shown any of them publicly yet, except here at Eye of the Needle.<\/p>\n

And finally, because it’s always a treat to be inspired by the natural world, take a look at @pottersarms<\/a> on Instagram for photos of such color and lyricism that they will at times take your breath away. Keep scrolling for her magnificent photos of flowers, both alive and dead.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to heading to The Netherlands soon to finally see the 2019 Textile Biennial at the Rijswijk Museum<\/a>. It’s been a long wait. I was overjoyed to learn that both Alone Together<\/em> and Respite<\/em> will be remaining in that part of the world with their new owners!<\/p>\n
