1 Year of Stitches - 2017

I've been neglecting my blog and playing over on Instagram.

My life during last year and half has been filled with day job requirements that have limited my creative life. International travel and workload have just honestly gotten in the way.

During my last 18 months, I needed something creative that was small, easily packable, and that I could anywhere - so I decided to stitch.  If you've been following me on Instagram @lorimoonstudio you've seen my posts. If not, below are a few photos of the fiber art I've been creating:

Fabric collage - hand stitched heart

Hand stitched flour sack collage - flower.

Vintage quilt piece, collaged, hand stitched in process.

And, now I begin a project. #1yearofstiches - a stitch each day for 1 year.

1YearofStitches - Day 1

Follow along. I'll post each day here on my blog and occasionally on Instragram.

Happy stitching. 

Black & White

I've missed you...have you missed me?

I've lost a little balance in my life recently.

Consumed with the day job, 

my new surroundings and tiredness.

I was inspired and encouraged by some friends

 to participate in the 5 day black and white challenge.

5 photos for 5 days all in black and white.

If you followed me in 2013 you know 

that I did a NYC Subway candid series 

on my morning commute. 

If you missed it, you can some 

of it here and here. 

So, using my iPhone and my 

Hipstamatic app is a lot of fun for me.

Follow me on Instragram @lorimoonstudio

 to see all 5 photos each day. 

Today is day 4. 

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the past 3 days.

Thanks for stopping by.

August Break w/ Susannah Conway

I've been blog lazy lately...

well, ever since I moved to California 7+ months ago.

My life, day job and all, is crazy busy 

so I am going to play along with Susannah Conway 

and her August Break.

A photo a day based on a prompt.

Nuance. . .April Moon Day 6

I'm playing along with Kat over at I Saw You Dancing 

and her April Moon reflective writing challenge.

I can't promise I will write everyday 

but I do promise to post at the very least a photo, 

 art, or some thing each day during the next 2 weeks.

Today's one word prompt is NUANCE.

Nuance - a subtle difference in...

I immediately thought of a series of photos

 I took last year at Grand Central Station, NYC.

I stood at the top of the stairs and 

captured moments in time

via double exposure.

The movement, the light,

the hustle, the stillness,

the nuance of the moment

in a single photo.

I could have taken a single exposure,

or even a series of single exposures,

but it wouldn't have had the same emotion.

It wouldn't have captured the nuance.
