I came across a link to this interview with fiber artist Richard Saja, who is doing some really inspirational things with embroidery and tuille. I really connect with his work just for the fine embroidery work. He quoted: "I found the perfect outlet for my OCD inclinations and overall fastidiousness: embroidery. Having no natural talent for painting or drawing, I found that a needle and floss allowed me to accomplish very similar results and that I actually did have some innate talent for it."
I kind of feel the same as I cannot paint to save my life and embroidery with yarn and thread is my way of painting.I love to just sit down for a few hours and just sew french knots into canvas. Guess I like the tediousness of it.
Looking at his work really makes me want to get back into something I have been neglecting for a few years now. I just dont have the time or I have some other project that seems more urgent at the time.
Here's a link to the interview of you're into it as much as I am.
