all i did today was sew grass stems. i started out using just a single strand of embroidery floss. that got old quick. so i changed to two. two different colors. better. but it's slo going. i finished two grass stems, bottom to top. took a pic and they don't show at all yet. and the first is doubled, so that one has 4 threads. more. maybe after tomorrow there will be something to actually see.
in person, they are visible…i like them a lot. i will add all the things that grasses have, those poetic things, the sheaths, inflorescences, rachias, lemmas, spiklets, glumes, anthers and awns…all of it. this part will take a long time. the leaves too… as i look today, i think at least three stems on each side, maybe more but fore sure, 3. they arch from bottom of the cloth to the top. it's good. just nothing you can see yet.
and in the middle of it, i was searching for a little shirt that has fabric i want on it somewhere, and didn't find it yet, but did find the following that was from Cloth to Cloth. i like it and maybe will stitch on it off and on when the stems wear me out???? the woven strips are ones i dyed……
