Meer Fife and Zentangle MatchMaking

This is the first picture of the year - technically it was started in 2023, derived from the Zentangle MatchMaking series. In this one I used Meer, Fife, Mooka3D and a horizon enhancer that made this look more like some kind of landscape. Love when that happens!

Here is the before and after shading:

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 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.

For the last 8 months or so I’ve been embroidering over fabrics. This is a dress that I upcycled with two hand embroidered panels.

I’m so pleased with this beautiful mandala I made using a stencil by Kathryn Costa (Four Gates Mandala). I mixed two techniques: 1) painting with Pitt artist brush pens and Inktense pencils and 2) embroidering on paper. Very very fun to make!

I’m still enjoying making these mini needlepoints, I might use them as patches to embellish purses or totes. I’m finding the similarities with Zentangle fascinating: repetitive patterns, intuitive and meditative method (in this type of counted design), small size canvas, portability and unexpected results. Fun!
