This is one earlier work too, I think I did it in 2001.

I used free motion stitching and hand stitching

This is another haiku that I sewed to a self made paper and framed after that.

I actually framed all this haiku because they look great as pictures on the wall.

This is one of a series of haiku I did for my textile group some years ago.

We had a haiku challenge that was very interesting.

The pieces were small collages, about 8"x12" (20x30cm).

I have them at Etsy.

Manuscript of the cherries

This cherry manuscript is a combination of a medieval book page and a visual text about cherries.

I felted the cherry stones into the piece, between the scrim and the wool.

I worked with Tyvek on this one.

Working with silicon

I did this piece with a niece who studied textile art in Argentina and was working with silicon.

I applied it on the surface and it changed totally the piece. It is very surprising to take the piece in the hand and notice that it's so heavy in the first place and then feeling this kind of synthetic rubber surface under the finger.

A tactile delusion...

I'm uploading some older pieces because I organized a photo corner in the studio.

This piece is one of the ones I liked to stitch the most because it also was an organic feeling to let the needle through this wonderful open fabric...
