You might remember this design that I had started in November. It's also the embroidered piece that I was working on in my Etsy interview. My initial plan was to make a handful of embroidered wall hangings, but the project idea had moved down my priority list the last few months. Then, in recent weeks, I received some inquiries about larger prints. I happened to have some 11 x 17 sugarcane paper in stock, so I made a test print of the new design just this morning. I was quite pleased with the way it turned out, and to create a little more pop in color, I added a few handcolored touches.
The run is a limited edition of 50 prints. To read more about the new print design, see the listing here.
I also finished a couple more small wood panel pieces this week.
When I was working on Rising Sun, I was thinking about Japan. I wanted to create something simple and calm. The title refers to the country as well as the idea that the rising of the sun brings a new day.
the paintings are great but the print looks like a little bit different direction for you...? I like it!
ReplyDeleteseriously. could you stop creating pieces that i want to buy? my whole house will look like a cathy shrine. jk. beautiful, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJanelle, my style does change a bit from one medium to the next. When I know I'm creating a new embroidery design, for example, I focus on repetition and a lot of graphic elements. Since the new print was initially designed as an embroidery piece, it does look a little different than the other prints. Glad that you like it!
ReplyDeletemoodymama- I like the sound of a Cathy shrine ;) Hope you and your family are doing well.
