I just picked this up from the post office today and I&#8217;m really excited about it: a sewn work by Seattle artist Danny Mansmith made on his sewing machine. I&#8217;m acquainted with Danny through Flickr, initially because he also does a bit of paper cutting which he often incorporates into his sewn works. When I saw this piece, I had to have it. I love the colors against the black, which you&#8217;ve seen more often than not in my own work lately.. I&#8217;m a bit obsessed with nighttime and how colors and objects and people (including myself) appear and transform and come alive when it&#8217;s dark. I love the tiny, organic details in the stitching. So great. I can&#8217;t wait to frame it in a shadow box and hang it on my wall.
