Mixed Media - "Slow Stitch" Stitch-a-thon #2

[@bookartswithloritaylor8362]

Thank you! Lovely inspirational slow stitch work and chat for my Saturday morning! ❤️

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Hi Lori! Thanks so much for watching and letting us know you enjoyed it! Hugs! 🤗

[@kathleenrivera8386]

Hi! You're artwork is so very inspiring! I enjoy every single tutorial! ❤ I'm also a full blooded Italian! 🙂My maternal grandfather left Italy to come to Coney Island in Bklyn NY to open a tailor shop, my mom was a seamstress and my aunt created amazing crazy quilts! I was introduced to sewing at a very young age. I agree with you that hand stitching is so relaxing. Even watching you handstitch is relaxing! 😃 Thanks so much for sharing and teaching us your craft! You truly are a master of your art!🙂❤🙋‍♀️

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Hi Kathleen! That’s a great heritage, to have a sewing background.. yes, it not only relaxes, but it connects to a stream of consciousness that is a well of creativity. Thank you so much for watching and letting us know you enjoyed it! 😘♥️

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 😘

[@kasvern5148]

Enjoyed that - might I say, Don is a wise man with his answer! Thanks for the recommendation on Ines - amazing art! Looking forward to your fabric jewellery workshop. Thanks

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Yes he is so very wise!!! 😉 I am looking forward to it as well! Thank you so much!

[@isabell2771]

Dear Caterina, thankyou for sharing so many ideas. This was such a fun video!(not that the others aren't!😉) I love the idea of preparing separate pieces wherever inspiration takes you, that you can use later on.......or not. Thankyou kindly for responding to all our questions. I have some artists to follow up and a product to investigate. I'm so grateful for all the consideration you and Don put into your presentations. They have become quite a comprehensive reference for me. Grazie💙Stay safe😘💙xx

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Prego! Dear Isabell! Thank you so much! We are so glad you you enjoyed it and thank you so much for your question! Glad I introduced you to new artists! Thank you dearheart 💙💙please stay safe and well, 😘💙💙💙

[@DeniseMarieplaylearnteach]

Loved watching you stitch and answer questions. I’ve been rescuing vintage linens and cabinet cards for decades for some unnamed projects. At age 67 I think it’s time to get to using them! However, when I saw you tearing into that cabinet card it gave me such a start! I’m getting over myself and have vowed to start using them in my mixed media art. (After I scan them at high resolution! Lol)

[@donalddigison7293]

Funny you said that when Cat tore the card I was thinking some of the viewers would be horrified. 😂

[@CaterinaGiglio]

I am laughing over your cabinet card comment.. Don said someone is going to be upset over that! 😉 So let me say that I only use original antique ephemera in my work.. I make Copies only for use as transfers. I understand the reluctance, but really.. there are more in the world than we can ever use right? At 68 I understand I am a big rescuer too!! Glad you will be using them in your work! And thank you so much for watching and letting us know you liked it! 😘

[@dorthehansen7257]

Thank you again for inspiration and beauty , dear Cat . xoxoxo

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Hi dearheart! Thank you so much for watching! xoxoxo 😘♥️

[@mixedmedialife7916]

My comment is "I've never..." themed! -- I've never thought of sewing paper to fabric, and the idea to coat the paper with gel medium is a great tip. I've never heard of Artemisia Gentileschi nor Ines Seidel and now I'm enjoying/appreciating learning more about them. Thank you for this slow-stitch-slow-chat. And yes, I agree - plastic is indeed a scourge of the earth.

[@mixedmedialife7916]

PS. It's interesting to me that Don's faves, Rockwell and Wyeth, are so very different. But I'm reading up now on Wyeth to see if I'm off base. My fave moment in this vid is when you ask Don, "And women?" 😉

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Hi there! Well I am so glad to introduce you to those new artists then! Oh gosh, I have been stitching papers and cloth together for years.. hope you give it a go! And yes about plastic.. ewwww. 😘🙏🏻

[@sharonrazmzan8097]

I absolutely L.O.V.E. it! Looking forward to your upcoming projects ❣️

Looking for the video on transfering images onto fabric. And will the image remain on the image after a wash?

[@fernstew]

There is always so many inspirations in your presentation. I have a bit of a nest...I sit at the end of my old couch surrounded by design elements. I am recovering from my second vaccine and feel out of sorts. Just being here...hearing your voice cheers my body and spirit. Imagine and live in peace.

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Hi Mary Helen.. I hear the second shot is the one that is a challenge.. rest up and let your body work it’s wonders. Thank you so much dearheart, I do imagine and always try to live in peace. ♥️

[@apiecemaker1163]

I’m scheduled for mine soon. What symptoms do you have and how long did it take you to recoup?

[@kimmyles444]

Love the Wyeths and their museum is not far from my house. I would one day love to volunteer at their museum when I retire.

[@donalddigison7293]

I have been to a Wyeth museum in Maine a long time ago. Couldn’t tell you what town it was in. Seems to me it was out in the country.

Hello Caterina and Don, I really enjoyed this video. The only problem is I won't be able to sleep now. Thank you so much. I am learning so much from you, it's wonderful. xxxx

[@lynnboyd33]

Cat, this was really interesting to watch, as well as listen to you answer questions. I'm also going to check out some of those artists you guys had mentioned. I LOVED how you hand stitched the papers onto the stained fabrics. I love old script as well as the old transferred photos. All the way around, a fantastic tutorial! Thanks as always, to you and Don for all your hard work.

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Awww Lynn, thank you from both of us! Don really is camera shy, so I am really proud of him for speaking up! Glad you will be checking out the artists we like, and so happy you enjoyed the tutorial it’s always so lovely to hear from you dearheart! 💝

[@barbaramabry1163]

Enjoyed watching your stitch....having been a hand quilter for 40yrs, I know how wonderfully meditative and mindless it is. I have a question about avocado dyes....how do you do it and how long should it take. I tried a batch of eleven pits today and the water turned brown. Disappointed. Thanks Cat!

[@randikuhne1649]

Another fabulous (and yummy) video! Thanks!

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Awww, Randi ... thank you dear friend! 🥰

[@lorrainedurgee1761]

Which video did you transfer photos to fabric, I looked at your videos but the transfers are in paper

[@fernstew]

I did fine on my first vaccination. I was a bit tired. The second vaccine knocked me on my butt. It is worthwhile...want to be able to see my grandchildren.

[@juliegolub2602]

I've been doing slow stitching this past year and looking forward to seeing what you have.

Great! So glad t have you here! Thank you for watching!

[@lorrainedurgee1761]

What video on your website on how to transfer on top off fabric? I looked at your videos but the transfers are on paper...love the text transfer , but never did this..

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Can you recommend a spray sealer that works on pieces that contain both fabric and paper? Thank you .

I seal the paper.. but just glue the fabric down.. I don’t know of a fabric sealer.. and I like the idea of it slowly decomposing.. 😘

Hi good friend! 😘 Loved the video and your statement regarding text in (any mixed media) project! I agree...”it’s a visual feast...a mystery for the soul to unravel.” I wrote that down to have before my eyes. Thank you! Now I need your recommendation for a pair of really sharp embroidery scissors...mine is dull and frustrating !!🥵 I looked on Amazon and there must hundreds !! 🥵So, I’m in no hurry, but if you'd care to find a small one that you think is sharp at the point, and put it in your Amazon list, I’d buy that one. If u don't have time...that's ok. (Btw, I HAD to use a $10 off coupon today at the grocery store, so I did not get to try out my new woodies...but I will and let u know in FB.) Chat later. Love to you and Don. 😘🌿🌸🍃 ,

Hi dearheart! We are delighted that you enjoyed the video.. ❤️ and that line has been quoted back to me a couple of times.. I truly feel that creativity moves through the soul.. I will look for a very sharp pair.. I bought the cute bird scissors and they are NOT sharp! So will keep looking and will definitely let you know😉 Don and I send you love back!! 😘♥️🍃🌿💝

I don't appreciate a tip jar thing. Sorry, but it just doesn't sit well with me.

[@donalddigison7293]

We understand asking our viewers to support our channel may not “sit well” with some. Asking for donations is a way to keep producing these instructional videos. It takes an enormous amount of time, effort and supplies to produce these quality videos. Caterina has a mission to provide inspiration, enlightenment and instruction and we are always looking for ways to keep the channel viable. There is no obligation to support the channel.
