Creative Embroidery, Second Project

[anne_d]

Finished this one yesterday. One of these days, I should take the time to take proper photos, but right now it's quick and dirty or nothing.

This was the fieldstone-pillar-inspired one (previous post showing the original photo and evolution of the design). I decided to embroider around the stone shapes, in the negative space, as it were.

Dye-na-Flo and Lumiere acrylic paints on Timtex interfacing, appliquéd fabrics (copper and sheer lamé), embroidery floss, seed beads (gold-lined, clear silver-lined). Stitches: French knots (dark blue), seed stitch, satin stitch, cross-stitch, running stitch, whipstitch (around the edges). I backed it with a batik in coordinating colors. It's about 4½x6 inches.



This is a fun class. I have another idea involving dandelions and the rest of the painted Lutradur, but I'm still working that one out.

That is utterly gorgeous. It looks like a map of some fantastic place!

I fully expect you to show me all of your creations in person the next time I manage to get up there :)
