Embroidery Project

This embroidery sampler from my second semester (last spring) fulfilled the project criteria that it must be a 'narrative of self, include text, and a date'.
I thought it would be interesting to delve into my educational past for this project. I wasn't a very focused student, but I  had a social agenda back in elementary and high school, which is well documented in my report cards.
I extracted some of my teachers' comments from my report cards and created this little handbook, which I thought could be a very useful guide for the younger generation of girls in my family.


Spring Inspired Tapestry

 I'm working on my final project for weaving, a tapestry inspired by the springtime. I wanted to capture the look of the sunlight as it appears through the foliage; I like all of the shadows created by the layering of leaves.
