Carol Rand – Stitching Children’s Art

Big smiles, happy grins,
Blue eyes, brown eyes, green eyes,
Curly hair, no hair, wisps of hair, wild hair,
Round faces, pointy heads, long necks, no necks

And so much more…

That’s what you get when a young child picks up pen, pencil, or paintbrush and puts it to paper.

Spontaneous, delightful and charming, bright colours and simple lines, the work of young children inspires my stitching. Before applying the design to 100% cotton or raw silk, I often alter the size or sometimes “edit” the piece. Simple, outline and filling stitches are most often used. Occasionally a touch of paint is required. Whatever the technique or medium, my work always remains true to the work of the child.
