When the ironing has been there so long it needs dusting, its time to give in and do it, so I did.
Then I turned a collar on my husband's favourite shirt so he can still wear it, and then I made piles and piles of silk paper, with a little hindrance from my friend.
Just out of interest I counted the pieces.
Just out of interest I counted the pieces. There were exactly 200, and this, stitched on one of the 200, is going to be my 200th picture on Flickr.
I've been working on pieces with a Fifties theme lately inspired by Woolly Fabulous.
Those papers look so lovely all together. I'm getting itchy fingers just looking at them, but I have too much else to finish before I start a new project.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about ironing, I just always seem to have something better to do. The washing is OK cuz it does itself once the machine is loaded. Oh well. My mum is babysitting tonight so you never know.... hehe
Those black lines really make the design pop. And you should be pleased with yourself, it's a beautiful piece!
ReplyDeletei'm out here, i'm out here....!!! great color and stitches here, you are certainly getting a lot of creative work done, ironing and all!
ReplyDeleteHow disciplined you are to make so many pieces without drying one off and running away to stitch it... (hairdryer, anyone?)
ReplyDeleteAll of it is so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWhat lusciuos colours!
ReplyDeleteAgain, you made with laugh out loud with the ironing comment ~ so true! The papers look good enough to eat and the embroidery is too beautiful for words.
ReplyDeleteI just love the silk papers! I have never seen anything like it before! Where if you don't mind my asking - do you get the silk to do it with and what kind of dye. I've used seta colors and pro-con dyes to dye cloth - and painted on it with acrylics but those colors -and silk - oh they are just so delicious. And your work is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Cat
