Sketching


I keep a sketch book on my bedside table and I have decided to try and sketch something every night before I go to bed. I’ll like to try and capture the day in a sketch and a single word. I am no good at sketching so it’s sort of a challenge to me. Yesterday the word that came to my mind was – free and the sketch became a silhouette angel. Today I started on an embroidery inspired by the sketch. White linen and a soft silk yarn thin as a sewing thread. I found the yarn and the linen in my mother in laws work box. It was left to me when she died ten years ago. She was a very talented woman and made the most beautiful lace. I miss her.

Take care
Jeanette

Fint!
Jag har många gånger startat projektet att skissa/skriva några ord innan sovdax, men jag kommer alltid av mig efter några dagar...
