Sometimes It happens that I can't get a clear picture
from what I want to communicate; for example
these vague stonelike shapes at the bottom
of the embroiderie, i wanted something white in white,
but I can't decide yet what these are gonna be, i'm changing
my mind every other minute, I think it will be better to put
this one aside instead of racking my brain about it .
I know from experience time will bring a solution, don't have
to force anything.
That's me on the second pic, I guess about 25,
don't remember what I was making either :-)
have a nice weekend!
i love so much what you do. it is so so so inspiring. you makes me want to learn again cross stitching.
ReplyDeleteoh and beautiful you!
ReplyDeleteoh Renilde! it's really wonderful, i love it so, the word, the technique, the colours, everything - very inspiring. and yes, you're very beautiful in the photograph.
ReplyDeleteTo leave it is good. But it looks very beautiful and pretty ready just as it is, just like you in the photo.
ReplyDeleteit's beautiful as is. especially when it's hanging on the wall.
ReplyDeletethis piece of embroidery is truly amazing! i love it's rawness. sometimes i think it's best to work without a plan and let shapes be what they will be...
ReplyDeleteI love your work! It's wonderful just as it is, but I know what you mean - it needs to feel right and finished in order to leave us be! and that photo of you is just brilliant! Have a great weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteI love that photo of you so much. so candid, and so natural.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, time will tell, but I am too impatient so many times.
I love that photo too- i really treasure that focused concentration- I think its just what happens in your work- I love the way you use the 'old' to explore 'new forms' still unnamed and not totally recognised-but there to be eventually discovered- how exciting! Beautiful piece here-

super die foto van jou, heel erg mooi, en ook nog wel een beetje herkenbaar. Ik vind je naaiwerk nu al leuk, zomaar, niet alles hoeft betekenis te hebben.
ReplyDeletethat is a gorgeous photo of you and I love your lamp!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, having an idea, a feeling, but finding it hard to bring it into being. it's easy to become frustrated when this happens, so its good to come back to it when a little time has passed.
Sometimes it's fun to let a design evolve as you're making it - I love the feeling when it all works out... but yes, sometimes we just need to think about it and hope it'll come to us ;) It's a lovely piece and that photo is just gorgeous :) K
ReplyDeleteoh so sweet. i love this piece and how the groupings of white interact with each other. wonderful photo of you as well. :::
ReplyDeleteecht een hele mooie foto van jou!
ReplyDeletebeautiful work and beautiful you.
ReplyDeleteand yes, as long as i remember:
i have nominated you for creative award
take a look, if you have time :)
Your work is always beautiful. So delicate...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
No words.
ReplyDeleteOnly feelings.
sometimes you just need to put away what you're working on for a while and then later, it will all make sense. lovely embroidery.
ReplyDeletedag renilde. je bent echt de mooiste!
ReplyDeletehopelijk lukt het met je flickr! was gezellig gisteren!
Renilde. Laat de tijd zijn gang gaan. Geef het een plek in huis waar je passeert of kunt naar kijken. Ondertussen gaat alles zijn gangetje. Tussendoor valt je blik op jouw borduurwerk. Je kijkt op straat naar vormen. In een tuin. In huis. En het groeit. Niemand kan voorspellen wanneer.
ReplyDeleteIk kijk al uit naar het resultaat. Maar ik heb geduld.
Great embroidery work..yes it will come to you.
ReplyDeletethat b/w picture is so beautiful...
I'm still with the flu. sniff, sniff...thanks for your kind words :)))
oh i really like that embroiderie and it´s vague stonelike things. beautiful! and so are you in that photo:)
ReplyDeleteI think it's beautiful as is!!
ReplyDeleteThe embroidery is gorgeous - I really like your sense of style. Your photo looks very 1940-ish!
ReplyDeleteGreat work and beautiful photo!!!
ReplyDeletedag reinhilde hele hele mooie post ! echt.
ReplyDeleteik zou nog wel eens willen komen kijken precies .
was ook heel gezellig eergisteren haha.
het is altijd leuk voor mij als er niet alleen jongens zijn.
x v.
Such a wonderful reminder of the process
ReplyDeletelike it. the embroidery and the photo. so concentrated.
ReplyDeletethis is an amazing piece, i love it so much. both sides. very nice photo of you too, you look so deep in whatever it is you are doing.
ReplyDeleteyour lamp....and your work..cool
ReplyDeleteSo poetic and so beautiful. We really love it.
ReplyDeleteAmai Renilde die foto van jou vroeger is zooo mooi!
ReplyDeleteThe expression of concentration in the b/w photo is very nice. And the needle point and the creative process - very familiar to me too :^)
ReplyDeleteI just noticed...is it the back of the work in the last picture? if that so you are a MASTER OF EMBROiDERY, no jocking...never saw anything so clean ... is the back that tells how a piece is a piece of art!!!
ReplyDeleteto casita: i don't have supernatural powers!!
ReplyDeletemaybe i only mirrored the image? :-)
Your work is always so subtle, so just right - not too much, not too little. No surprise you ponder over the final touch of near-white. But I'm happy to learn you have the same approach as I (try to have). Let time take care of it, it works out. You look so beautiful in that picture::)
ReplyDeleteI love your work, just as it is, and what a beautiful B/W photo. Says it all !
ReplyDeleteIt's such a subtle, lovely piece. It reminds me of some Cy Twombly work for some reason. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeletegood morning Renilde. the photo of you is hauntingly beautiful, haunting in the best way. and the embroidery work is absolutely wonderful (those words sound so stupid). fantastic (oh english).
ReplyDeletebut "true" is a great word, and fitting for you and your work.
Ah Renilde, I'm sure the back is clean anyway...
ReplyDeleteI didn't noticed you mirrored the image!!! you pixie!
i love that embroidery. the white-on-white parts look mysterious, and i like that.
ReplyDeletethat photo is gorgeous. how come we don't do square format with white borders so much for prints? it's perfect.
oh and this, wow!
