Embroidered Postcards: The New York Series

Our walls are cream, covered in dozens of layers of families moving in and moving out since the thirties.  Somewhere under all that paint are hand prints and nail holes for long-ago pictures, furniture scrapes and scraps of old-fashioned wallpaper.  Since we moved in, I've been treating the cream walls as my own personal canvas, and Mr. Mersy has been very tolerant.

I've been embroidering a series of New York postcards and adding them to the wall as I go.

 (The Guggenheim Museum)

(Brooklyn Bridge) 

(Grand Central Station) 

(Picasso's "The Kitchen" at MOMA) 

(Chrysler Building Cupola with a bit of silver thread) 

(The Guggenheim Rotunda) 

(Another Googly-heim Museum view with French-knot leaves) 

(The Empire State Building- can you spot the embroidered lines?  They're subtle.)

(The Globe at Trump Tower.) 

And, just for fun:

(Walkin' in the rain...) 

 (...and soakin' up the sun.)

Lots of love from New York,
