Finished this lovely pillow for my friend’s birthday. I hope she likes it. It’s a bit loose so I know next time to account for less take up when seaming.

马嬿泠 Ma Yanling’s ghostly paintings of China’s glamorous old movie stars, smiling and looking flawlessly beautiful, were partly inspired by Andy Warhols’ images of Hollywood actresses (Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe). Over each portrait, she paints a grey shroud, hinting at the tragedy and suffering in the offscreen lives of the divas: Ruan Lingyu, whose private life and love affairs was published by the tabloids, committed suicide in 1935 at the age of 24; Wang Renmei was relentlessly persecuted during the Cultural Revolution; Hu Die was the unwilling mistress of Guomindang secret-police chief Dai Li, and also suffered from rumours spread by the press; Jiang Qing, the second wife of Mao Zedong, persecuted fellow actors and artists during the Cultural Revolution, served time in prison, and finally hanged herself; and Meng Xiaodong had a love affair with Peking Opera master, Mei Lanfang which ended sadly due to social and family pressure.

Decided I wanted to try double knit colorwork and man is it difficult. I enjoyed the circles/bubbles but wanted to try a less geometric form and made up a little pattern. Sadly it looks like a demonic rabbit skull a bit and I’m not really into that but it is great practice.
Definitely not easy or something to do while doing something else.

I started, and nearly finished, this piece a year and a half ago. Just ran across it a couple days back and decided to finish her up. This is a blackwork fill pattern that I designed (though with blackwork there are only so many things you can do, so it may exist elsewhere as well).
I really enjoy when I can stitch things in the same order every time and end up with a pretty back. It’s a dreadful addiction.
