Latest Projects This is another embroidery version of Huichol yarn painting. Celestial faces and bird messenger. I finally completed this one - and before cool weather yet. Yarn art uses a technique of gluing colored yarn on a canvas to form a painting. There are usually about 20 characterless to a painting and many tell a story. I use one character per design. Both of these are on a pair of jeans. That way I get to wear my art.   Spiritwoman ^i^ |

That is great Spirit. Do I understand correctly, you glue the yarn rather than sew it? Eve Spiritwoman ^i^

I have some shirts done this way too - one is just about every color. I use them as top shirts or like sweaters. Spiritwoman ^i^

The result of having champagne tastes on a beer budget. Growing up way out in the country the only way I could have pretty or stylish things was to make them. Skills that lasted a lifetime. Spiritwoman ^i^

Thank you. The Huchiol designs are very similar to our hippie stuff from the 70's. Maybe becasue they are both psychedelically inspired. Peyote was a staple for the Huichol. They still use it in ceremonies. One of those ways in which the very old cultures were way ahead of us. Spiritwoman ^i^

laughing here becasue both of my girls used to object to me decorating their clothes. Even as adults they are downright plain in their choice of clothing. Sometimes I wonder how they can be my kids. Spiritwoman ^i^

That would be me! No such thing as housework or means when I am working on something intently. The embroidery is not a intense as the other things though. It is something I do while sitting in the evenings. It is impossible for me to just sit and watch TV or a video. Hands have to be busy and brain doing at least 3 things at once. Spiritwoman ^i^
