RE: #needleworkmonday | International Women's Day - women, art and sewing
Ah, Vanessa Bell - interesting :) I know of her and the Bloomsbury group of artists and writers around her, but not a great deal about her painting or thinking. Sorry to hear about your finger, I hope it is not painful. Will it recover? But a good impulse to extend your creativity to sewing :) I used to sew as a teenager and I would guess I made about one garment a week, but two is quite something. I believe Sonya was doing it as part of her art practice, so her work, rather than as an additional thing to work/family/home etc. I've come to love flaws ... they are the humanity :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the post :)
With the finger.... no idea if it will go away. I have had something similar on my wrist, perhaps of all the dancing and teaching and the strain/weight on the joint. It lasted for years. Today it is gone, but I barley do things like handstand or the like anymore.
The finger joint hurts sometimes, but not every time, which makes it hard to not knit 😂 (I did it yesterday...)
I find Sonyas approach very inspiring. And 50 garments a week is also very impressive!!! I think I envy you your sewing experience
