Worry Stones
I started making what I consider worry stones out of fabric I had printed with relief blocks as a way to keep my hands busy and relieve stress. I work intuitively, thinking mostly about the tactility of the objects and the textures the different stitches have. I embroider along the printed lines, my needle following the path like my feet would on a trail. The shapes are not necessarily stone-like and calling them worry stones somewhat belies these objects’ appearance, however they are meant to be used as a worry stone; to be objects of comfort.
