It's my framing techniques and everyone has a different opinion. Wood frames, thin black frames, mounting in a shadowbox, matting, no matting,mounting on a canvas. Each person has a different idea and no two people have the same idea. This morning I have gotten an idea for something completely different which I am following through on. So we'll see what happens. Although I do still have a few pieces that need to be framed in something.Tangled Stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04187930600143603801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715477500193980363.post-39225807507121116162012-06-14T06:30:01.061-07:002012-06-14T06:30:01.061-07:00Everyone has an opinion about your work?

I'm just curious as I get very little feedback on my pieces. It must be nice to have so many people interested in what you do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715477500193980363.post-91063182660914510552012-06-13T17:18:15.907-07:002012-06-13T17:18:15.907-07:00Thank you anonymous, I too realize I have to eleva...Thank you anonymous, I too realize I have to elevate my game a bit so no offense taken. Everyone seems to have an opinion about my work so it just comes as second nature to question it. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately everyone who has an opinion, has a different opinion, so I'm going to have to be a responsible artist and figure this out myself. Thank you again for your first comment and your last comment. I hope some day to see your work too!Tangled Stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04187930600143603801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715477500193980363.post-50107945296880882122012-06-13T09:11:49.664-07:002012-06-13T09:11:49.664-07:00Oh my I did not mean to offend as in my estimation...Oh my I did not mean to offend as in my estimation there is nothing "constructive" about criticism and I truly apologize. In reading your blog it seems your intent is to earn a living thru your passion. In our field, that of artists seeking to fulfill our passion and cash in as well, we sometimes have to up our game and elevate our work into an arena where people are willing to spend money on fine pieces of art. As artists we create art that speaks from someplace other than our fingertips but as crafting-artists we have to elevate the craft. That is all I meant by my remarks and certainly nothing was meant of a personal nature. I can not imagine "just listening to the voices of others" and applaud you for setting those thoughts aside.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715477500193980363.post-81206784654583738842012-06-13T07:51:52.819-07:002012-06-13T07:51:52.819-07:00Thank you for taking the time to comment on my blo...Thank you for taking the time to comment on my blog and for giving me constructive criticism. Ultimately it is I who has to figure out which direction to go in with my work as I have to speak from my own heart instead of just listening to the voices of others. I am however branching out using more of my talents in hand embroidery and also with the rest of my fibery talents. Thanks again.Tangled Stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04187930600143603801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715477500193980363.post-69363180786366020572012-06-13T07:08:03.778-07:002012-06-13T07:08:03.778-07:00Just a thought on your work....if you want to make...Just a thought on your work....if you want to make a living from your embroidery, as your technique is interesting, maybe consider working on a larger scale instead of small pieces? Your technique would work well on clothing or fabric used to make clothing. Certainly there must be a market for someone so adept with the needle. Unfortunately, I'm not sure small, immature designs, framed with little imagination will pay the bills. I don't say this to hurt you in any way and again stress your technique is remarkable and could probably be used to embellish wedding dresses or coats, jackets, or skirts sold in high end stores. How about a pair of jeans with something fabulous adorning the leg?? Or fabulous pillows shams... Expand your "circle" into the design field!! Learn what makes good design. Wishing you all the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
