Well, like many amateur artists I am going through an identity crisis.
I know what I like to do - machine embroidery. But I don't feel I have direction, a creative voice.
I am a course and book junkie. Always trying something new. But at the end of the day it doesn't make me happy. I would love to have a definite identity whereby someone could look at a piece of my work and KNOW it was by me.
So, I am investigating joining a textile group where I may find direction. I am also working out what it is I actually like.
So far:
Wall hangings, bags, texture, distressed materials, ethnic styles.
So, that give me a bit of direction but also the freedom to create a felt backing fabric and then make a large distressed ethnic wall hanging - yeah, sounds simple. But what of?
I'll keep ya posted.
