Fall Tangle Trash to Treasure with Ayame
Another picture developed as part of the Fall Tangle 2023 event. This one was part of Jennifer Cottrell’s fun class Trash to Treasure where we tangled over a piece of cardboard box, transforming it into a picture to be treasured.
Part of the top cover of the cardboard box was removed, creating a sort of rough, irregular string. Here’s the before and after shading:
We used the tangle Ayame (Emiko Kaneko). Here is another view for you to inspect:

This is slow stitching intuitive embroidery #40. A lot of ferns and tons of couching, including rattail cord, strips of felt and more.
This is slow stitching intuitive embroidery #39. I’m back to creating florals over a fabric collage base.
This is slow stitching intuitive embroidery #38. It was a sort of experiment, I used mostly couched pieces of felt to form the spirals.
It’s been quite some time since I posted, several months! This is intuitive embroidery #36. I continue my explorations with slow stitching and fabric collage.
This burgundy purse is piece #20 in a long line of embroidered purses. First I create the patch over a sandwich of fabric collage and after completed, attach it to fabric purses.
Since November of 2025 I’ve been making patches and attaching them to fabric purses. Here are a few of the many that I have already made.
This is a large embroidered floral patch, measuring about 9x9 inches. I haven’t found a home for it yet, but hope that soon it will embellish a purse or jacket.
Here you can see an intuitive embroidery that I made for a friend, I attached it to the back of a denim jacket.
Here you can see an embroidery that I made for the front panel of a purse, measuring more or less 9x10 inches. I love the big flowers, inspired by passion fruit flowers.
I embroidered freeform over a piece of fabric taken from a dress that no longer fit me but still had a lot of meaning.
