Greetings Dear Reader:
.
Hope you are well.
What a Timeless Truth we have here.... 'He who does not advance retrogresses'
With Spring on its way...this seems a timely Principle....just as we are ready to take on a new season. With new anything, we are exposed to new ideas, new thoughts and they require information that may be obtained by learning. We are either left behind by not acquiring knowledge or we advance in that realm.
An illustration is demonstrated in the photographs. From time to time artists branch out to different mediums to produce their art and so Bleujay has done...by seeking what it would take to express artwork in a different form...in this case..through Embroidery handwork.
It sounds easy to just switch mediums, however the amount of information required has initiated a fabulous journey into the world of fabrics, threads, needles, etc. Yet, it was a journey that is needed in order to advance in Artistic expression.
Shall we give this Principle more than a think and apply to whatever we are doing whether it is new or existing.
Thank you for dropping by today. ^__^
Wishing you and yours all the best...God's best!

It is faith alone in Christ alone for eternal life.

Details with regard to the 'Icing':
All the photographs were taken with an iPad Pro in Bleujay's Studio.
The Drawing for the handwork is by Bleujay.
The substrate for the Embroidery handwork is a Wool Felt from Germany,
The Embroidery threads are from various countries....France (DMC), Japan (Cosmos), America (Weeks Dye Works). Some are solid colours and others are variegated.
Needles and pins from well known and highly recommended companies in France. Such a pleasure to study and discover these materials from around the world.
Side Note...The photograph of the flowers may have been previously presented here and elsewhere.
Thank you for your interest. ^__^

I've never learned to do any decorative stitching, but I love seeing what others create.
Darn.... I was trying to float right here where I am....LOL.... although I am looking forward to spring and which new flowers for my porch are swirling through my head.
Love that last photo which looks like the flowers are floating.
Greetings Dear Jacey,
What a lovely comment....thank you.
That is what you are to do...looking forward.... ^__^
Yes....they are floating...thank you...now I see it as well.
It has been a few years since I applied myself to this skill...never really thinking of it as an expression of artistic ideas...which has changed my view of it tremendously. There are loads of books available....such a wide range of application....you would be surprised I think. Quite a few looking like collages. ^__^
Appreciate you dropping by.
Kindest Regards, Bleujay
Excellent, timeless truth, my friend. And yes, we must always be prepared for the changes that will help us achieve that development as individuals because the world is evolving and we must also keep pace so as not to fall behind and to learn from those new experiences.
Greetings @hjrrodriguez ....have a lovely weekend.
Yes, world does not stand still, so we also shouldn't and always adapt to new situations.
You are doing very well in your new field of art, congrats! 😊

Well, I've been mulling over ideas for starting a new small business these past few days, and this principle you mention in your post seems like a new sign of impetus for this, like so many others that have occurred to me lately and seem to be telling me, "Go ahead, dare to do it!"... 😀🙏
And by the way, those photos you've created with your artistry in embroidery are fantastic! So much color and so many elements that speak volumes here! Excellent!... 😍
Thank you so much, as always, for one of your insightful and engaging posts! I send my best wishes to you and yours always!
