Figured that with your eye, it might just be something like that. You'd probably be the type who one day decides to take a chisel to a hunk of marble, producing a ten foot tall parodic Pieta in perfect realistic detail, and then describes your process as having just "whacked away at it."

Hell if I know. I just called it all "sewing" and left it at that. “I have been wondering what stitch you used to do the shaded filling work in the figure’s body?”

Beautiful composition, and very evocative. Embarrassingly -- as I know I should be seeing the artistic forest here rather than the technical trees -- I have been wondering what stitch you used to do the shaded filling work in the figure's body?

Terrible in the old sense, inspiring terror. It makes cancer seem so very bad. Well, duh, I know cancer is very bad, but it's all very hypothetical usually during programmes on the subject and cancer research appeals. That picture isn't at all remote or clinical. It scares me in a good way. I don't want to look at it because it's icky, says scary things and frightens me, and I know that, unlike horror stories, this embroidery is true. It makes me intensely uncomfortable, and that's why I like it, and that is why, even if in reality the stitches look glued on, it's still an absolutely amazing piece of art. I think the word I might actually be looking for is 'terrific'. I'm horribly depressed now and then because of migraine, all the time. I think I might have to try embroidery again. I have all the tools. That’s both an inspiring and terrible piece of art. Terrible in the old sense, inspiring terror. It makes cancer seem so very bad.
