This is the main tumblog of Silvie Kilgallon. I'm a conceptual artist and my work is largely influenced by my academic interests in classics, ancient history, translation, and philosophy of language. This blog details conceptual, casual and personal projects on which I am currently working. To see the Stitched Iliad project, please check out the Stitched Iliad blog below.

I took a day off from work today. Over the last week and a half I'd written 5000 words (this is a lot for me, I'm a slow writer) and sent it off to my supervisor last night. I figured I'd earned a break, so I spent the morning working on the Iliad, and then started this project this afternoon. This is my modern embroidery sampler. The technique hasn't changed; the alphabet has.
I SHALL reach line 100 before day 20, I shall!
It's good to be working daily on this project again.
Day 17.
Hopefully a present for someone. Started yesterday. So far, we have French knots, woven wheels (whipped and unwhipped) bullion knots, cast on stitch, button hole wheel, heavy chain, and stem stitch.
Added some drizzle stitches.
