I asked her a series of questions and through an interpreter she replied. I am so happy to introduce you to the work of Eυγενία Κούμπουλη. I’m sure she’ll create a bit of fiber drool with this sampling of her work. I find it very satisfying to share her accomplishments, women supporting women in our passions!
This is what she wrote:
It is my pleasure that you promote my work! The designs are mine. I draw on canvas whatever come out of my mind and secondly I paint my designs with DMC product. I don't know what you mean by the hook, I am doing embroidery and I use simple sewing needles with DMC threads.
I embroider many years about twenty but I make my own designs since last year. Except those I give as a gift to my friends the rest of them I use to sell. But until now I haven’t sold any of my designs. First I do the design on a piece of cloth, then I choose the colours and after I embroider.
Yes I am self-taught and there is nobody near me that is dealing with something like that. They only like it. I thank you very much for your spontaneous interest about my work. It is very important for me to share my passion and love with other people with the same interests. I am really flattered that you are going to make a blog about my work!
I also want to take some good pictures to send you on doing my work to know better about the way and the steps I am following. I will send you the way I am painting on my table and the type of my needle. With pleasure and respect,
Genny or Ευγενία
