The Rabbitat has been viewed over 4000 times (update: 18,000 in November 2015) since it was posted on Vimeo, 9 months ago! To celebrate, I’ve put together a selection of process photos, most of which have not been published before.
UPDATE: The original fabric relief piece is currently on display in my exhibition, Social Fabric at the Upcountry History Museum Greenville, SC through Sept 6, 2021.
Such beauty… Wow… Thank you for these beautiful pictures that inspires me to do some stitching today !
That was absolutely wonderful. I love your work.
Salley – how do we pass this on? How do we make sure that a “next generation” knows this skill and craftsmanship? Do you teach? Maybe you could do a series of video courses . . just a small sample of stitches, how to, and the creative process. This is a treasure too great to lose!
Carol,
I appreciate your concern for passing on handowrk skills to the next generation. Waldorf Schools do a wonderful job of this. And it seems that there’s a renewed interest in knitting and embroidery among the young. As for your suggestion of teaching via videos or otherwise– sharing on this blog is as much as I can do. As it is, I don’t spend as much time as I’d like on my artwork. Got to get back to that needle and thread…
Perfection! Thank you so much for sharing, your work is exquisite and I love the posts when you show the process.
You do such beautiful work. This piece is absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing your process. I wish I had the patience and steady hand to do something like it.
Your work is magic in each tiny stitch! So much to tell in such a tiny space.
I am in awe! I love to stitch and enjoy applique very much, but when I look at the depth of your work and how each little stitch is perfect it just strikes me as incredible. So many stitches! Just beautiful work.
Thank you, Salley, for the wonderful demonstration of your work. It is just marvelous to be able to study each step! I have learned so much from you!!!
Wow! Fascinating to see the stages of your work. Thank you for the continued inspiration
Love seeing the details! Thanks for sharing the photos.
