Proofs of Labour
Proofs of Labour, 2023, embroidery, Aida cloth, 24 inch hoop, 74 hours of stitching, 48 hours of unstitching
I finished the final stages of unstitching all the threads from my Proofs of Labour conceptual cross-stitch project. Here’s what the Aida cloth looks like after 48 hour of unstitching. Remnants of fibres remain on the cloth and the holes are wider/stretched out from being punctured by needle and thread and finally unstitched. The labour logs and jars containing the unstitched threads will be part of the installation for an upcoming solo show in Indiana, May 4 - June 4, 2023.

No Smoking (Motel Collection)
My latest No Smoking cross-stitch series was inspired by actual signs from my studio located at the City Centre Motor Hotel and are a continuation of my Motel Collection.
Glitch Pin Workshop - Learn the Basics of Cross-Stitch
In this introductory cross-stitch workshop, artist Mallory Donen will demonstrate her step-by-step process of converting glitch images into cross-stitch patterns to make a glitch pin.
You will learn the fundamental skills of cross-stitch and pattern creation using Stitchfiddle.com.
By the end of the workshop, you will go home with your very own cross-stitched glitch pin!
Tickets are $50 (+tax) including all supplies.
