Flower Bouquet, Aleea Dugstad, 2024, mixed media, 11.5 x 8 in. / 29.21 x 20.32 cm.

White Cotton embroidery/cross-stitch cloth and floss

The Flower Bouquet piece was inspired by geometric artwork. I initially sketched the design on paper, which kept me grounded & focused during the construction process. I wanted each stem to have a single flower and each flower to be both abstract & unique. I use a loop stitch or half a cross-stitch.
