NIGHTSWIMMING began with a simple butterfly, created with petit-point stitches to highlight the detail of this ephemeral beauty. I thought by stitching her in black and white, I could create an unexpected contrast between the daylight flutter and the mysterious night.
The imaginative elements were stitched stream of consciousness, allowing my hand to go where willed. Many flowers have eyes; many are so tiny, but an integral part of the design's magic.
The snakelet is playful, more apt to kisses than hisses. The winged insects are amusing, floating softly with the botanicals.
Seeing this, I dream of night swimming, bathing in the beauty of the forest waters, surrounded by a host of living, lyrical creatures.

Silk and Merino wool tapestry threads - organic & natural, without nylon or man-made fibers. Petit point and gros point needlepoint stitches.
Stitched on Zweigart Penelope canvas, with sufficient blank canvas for framing . (Canvas can be finishing as a feather down pillow with velvet welting and reverse. Please contact me if you'd like Nightswimming as an art piece on your sofa.)
Truly one of a kind.
