My first section is a nod to the work of Ernst Haeckel. I admire his drawings so much and I just know many of them could be perfect inspiration for stitch work. The first photo I'm showing today is some ledger work I did trying (and the key word there is 'trying'!!) to draw out some designs using his work as inspiration.
As you can see, my drawing abilities are definitely lacking, but what I was aiming for is the basic design.Next is a picture of the beginnings of a piece of stitching.
The tri-shape on the left is a copy of
Ernst's work from his book and
is what I'm hoping to reproduce (somewhat)
in my stitching.

If you are interested in seeing more of his incredible
work, just google his name and be
work, just google his name and be
ready to be inspired!
I left a comment and Blogger ate it. Anyway, I was agreeing with your liking his work as a series of designs for stitching. And I found his quotation, gosh couldn't have put it better myself: "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny". Yeah.
