To me, cross stitching is about exploring as
many different directions as possible, experimenting,
developing and constantly being curious. What
interests me, is the initial idea and the shaping
of the motive. Some of my results can be seen on this
website. Enjoy, Bodil.

The pillow and table runner were created by experimenting with the shapes of brush strokes when using acrylic paint. The first work was the red table runner, made on fine linen. Both pillows were done black/gray on coarse linen.

I got a box of colored pencils (metallic) as a gift, and immediately used them to draw this sheet of angles. I transferred the drawing into a cross stitch pattern by hand to get the best result.

The structure in a small pencil sketch, and the fine details of the lines makes these angels drift into the air.
