What if the electricity went out? Wouldn’t having a hand crank or treadle model be just the thing to keep us going?
The art and the new thoughts that came from it were wonderful. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Lori. I love your selections of seamstresses. I too, had no idea there were so many artists who had chosen women (and girls) sewing. I love them all.
i had no idea, until your series, that so many painters had chosen women sewing as their subject. Amazing. This one is lovely and serene even with so many colors of the rainbow..I am enjoying it ! Thanks..

Beautiful! I did not know this painter.
And my reflection is that fishermen’s wives had access to sewing machines at the time. Interesting!

The light streaming in the window is so lovely and inviting. And look at her little hand crank machine.

I had no idea either. I keep thinking I will have to change the series, but for now I keep finding more and more “seamstresses in fine art”.
