Patti Roberts-Pizzuto

Patti Roberts-Pizzuto works with handmade paper, collage and stitched line. I have chosen snowy works by Patti but her works vary greatly she uses natural dyes in some, photography and more figurative 'drawing'. Patti's works are whispers, dreams, memories and poems.

Embroidering circles

I spent the weekend sewing tissue circles onto paper, just to see if, when I wet them, the colour would bleed along the thread, don't ask me why. It did work, though it is subtle and I don't know what I will be doing with it next. Nice to be sewing paper again, its been many years.
