Carla Sonheim’s Drawing Lab for Mixed-Media Artists: 52 Creative Exercises to Make Drawing Fun prompted us to make drawings using ONE line…choosing from a list of subject prompts (hence, the toilets). At first, I was making my drawings too elaborate. The goal was to take the viewer’s eye through the drawing following the one line, so I tried to simplify.
TAST this 22nd week featured the Knotted Cretan Stitch. Hmm. What do I want to say about this week’s challenge. It was a challenge? I participate in this embroidery stitch challenge for fun.

I had substantially limited time, so the added frustration of having to take time to figure out how to complete this stitch was not especially welcome.
BUT, I persevered!
