Atelier Gwendolyne: Inspiration and Place
http://ateliergwendolyne.blogspot.com/2012/04/inspiration-and-place.html
Tuesday, April 24, 2012. The canvas gives us the place to embed an idea with thread and needle. The space of time gifts us the mediation to be mindful. Ah I love that sense of peace. In Atelier Gwendolyne hanging out together plays a big part of this creative journey. Lise took my seat by my sewing machine in this workshop. It's a favourite spot for me. Lise's French knots are filling in her Meadow. I always love how emerging stitches build texture. As one who loves detail this excites my senses. This la...

http://ateliergwendolyne.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 7, 2010. Coral Stitch just the start. This 2010 has been quite the year of creativity in our studio. The courses throughout this year were wonderful with new faces and wonderful stories along the way. Unfortunately I have not been able to spend much time on my computer as our business designed a new website. Now that it is complete, I will have more time to share our moments in Atelier Gwendolyne this year. Links to this post. Labels: Anchors Embroidery Floss. Saturday, November 6, 2010.

Atelier Gwendolyne: Our Sharing Garden
http://ateliergwendolyne.blogspot.com/2012/03/our-sharing-garden.html
Wednesday, March 28, 2012. This last Sunday workshop Lise brought many smiles and stories as well as the classic. Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The book-cover spoke volumes of the stitch and inspired her to purchase it. I am so glad she did and shared it with me. It's a story I have yet to read and is now on my reading list due to the. Visiting her website was a wonderful. I have been working on a series of trees for the seasons. My Spring and Winter are finished. This could be your year!

Atelier Gwendolyne: February 2012
http://ateliergwendolyne.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 21, 2012. February has been bright inside our Sunday workshops this year. We have been experimenting with different dyes for our canvases. The results have brought a greater visual depth to our backgrounds. Here the red dye brought the life force energy for Gwen's Fire element atrwork. Sharing this beautiful studio with the sunlight beaming in is the punctuation in my working week. Having four hours together allows much to get much accomplished. I am always accepting new students. Simpl...

Atelier Gwendolyne: May 2012
http://ateliergwendolyne.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 30, 2012. May was the month of new sprouts and on this workshop day Rita brought gifts from her garden. The workshop began with a photo moment of the beauty. It was a full afternoon and Lisa was pleased to stretch her artwork for the birch frame. We are lucky that our studio is in a very special place. As on this day a couple did their life vows. In the court-yard below. Our first June workshop is this Sunday. I am looking forward to our gathering. Links to this post. A place for a pause.

Atelier Gwendolyne: January 2012
http://ateliergwendolyne.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 29, 2012. Our Travel easy Embroidery carriers. Our workshops have started and the studio felt so uplifting last Sunday. This week I had to create many Travel Embroidery Kits for our students this year. They are created from thick basket weave cotton. A simple design that allows one to always travel with their tools and materials easily. I am happy to have made now early in the year. This year of the Dragon is feeling strong and powerful for me even. Links to this post. Links to this post.

Atelier Gwendolyne: June 2011
http://ateliergwendolyne.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 29, 2011. It is always a pleasure to see people explore new techniques and materials. Nancy wanted a "Country Garden" to represent her Earth element. Her own home garden is a focal part of her summer life. Watching her work on this piece was inventive and beautifully executed on the canvas. Using her own ribbon ends from home, Nancy used worked in the lazy daisy and ribbon stitch. The rich texture was terrific. Here is Kathleen's artwork. She incorporated all the elements to create a ...

Atelier Gwendolyne: Shoots emerging
http://ateliergwendolyne.blogspot.com/2012/04/shoots-emerging.html
Monday, April 9, 2012. Both Lise and I got to share some Easter Sunday energy together. My work area was totally fitting into Easter's traditional color palette. New shoots emerged in both of our foregrounds. I love how lives begin to entwine when we all create. It's the rhythm of the stitch that. Unites us and our stories. It is fun seeing my two close up photos of this Atelier Gwendolyne's Easter Sunday workshop. As a child the Easter bunny would bring skipping ropes or hula hoops. A place for a pause.
