"Vacation Purse" artwork by Amy Maisel Mixed Media Stitch/Embroidery
A few years ago I discovered embroidery and mixed media stitch. We took a vacation to a Dude Ranch in Big Sky, Montana. I wanted to take a simple art project that was small and would travel easily. I bought a needlepoint hoop, bag of embroidery thread, needles and needlepoint fabric. I loosly sketched a design on the fabric and just randomly started sewing. It was really relaxing to just sit sewing while looking at the Mountains, Stream and Horses. My end product after this vacation ended up becoming a little purse. After that I try and create some type of Momento from all my vacations.
Below are three pieces that I created recently for the Cloth Paper Scissors Artisan 2011 Search.

Well, I wasn't chosen in the top 5, but I love my pieces anyway. There were over 1200 entries and so many talented artist submissions. So, I don't feel bad, it pushed me to make these and I LOVE them!!!
