My weavings move a little faster, but are more costly to produce because I have expensive taste in yarn. I can easily spend 30-40 hours cross-stitching the thousands of little x’s in my 12 inch pieces. I usually begin with an idea of what I want the finished piece to look like, but I sometimes lose track of my intention and let my materials dictate what happens next. Once I’m happy with a design I recreate it in Adobe Illustrator, mark where my holes need to be, and laser cut my designs into birch panels. I start out by experimenting with patterns on graph paper. One day it just clicked that I could further develop my work by using the laser cutter to prepare nontraditional materials to embroider and weave into.Ĭarrie: Please take us through your creative process: from idea to final artwork? At the same time I was experimenting with ways to modernize traditional fiber crafts. I spent several years feeling guilty for not taking advantage of a laser cutter I was fortunate enough to have access to.
Carrie: How did you discover your unique medium of embroidery on wood?
