"Puzzlepiece Thoughts" Original Embroidery Art, 8 x 10 inches
In 2021, I began to feel like things in my life were going to change. Everything looked the same, but I could feel that something new was coming. The tension was that I had no idea what the “new” was or when it was coming, so I started sorting through my thoughts and the details of my life trying to figure out what was next, just like a puzzle. Hopes, dreams, facts and fears all mingled together, moving around in my head without a known destination. This piece reflects the beginning of that time period and is the first in a series of work on Transition, which is what I call the season of mystery and motion when I’m “in-between” old and new.

Hand embroidery on 100% cotton fabric with cotton thread.
Mounted using archival techniques on conservation matboard with a cotton backing. This helps protect the stitching from sagging over time and prepares it for framing.
8" (20.5cm) by 10" (25.5cm) and approximately 1/4 inch thick.
