Re: Embroidery
Look, it's a big sacrifice on my part, being forced to look at simply beautiful stitching that amazesand delights me, but I'm generous ... I will put up with as many pictures as you can bore me with.
Myst..
Re: Embroidery
that is awesome

Re: Embroidery
I always tended to think of cross stitch as the 'easy' end of needle painting, because all you do is follow a pattern, effectively painting by numbers with a very simple stitch.
Also, I always thought that embroidery was at the other end of the ability scale - only the best need apply.
Reckon you have confirmed my thoughts, and would love to see more.

Richard

Re: Embroidery
The butterfly was done whilst walking in Northern Spain last year- something to do in the evenings and during waits at the airport, and on the plane. Some interest aroused amongst fellow passengers....
On the next trip I thought a small cross stitch key fob would be easier to do whilst on the move, and so that started me off .......
Thank you for your kind comments.

Re: Embroidery
Just beautiful! I expect that purple butterfly to just fly out of my monitor, it looks so real. You are quite talented!

Re: Embroidery
Incidentally, the latest trip to Spain with some cross stitching was rather funny. Returning home via Santiago airport, my rucsac was pulled going through the scanner - reason?
The small 4 piece wooden frame ( 4 x 25cm screw together bits) showed up and they thought it was some kind of weapon, much to everyone's amusement when I unpacked it all.....
I guess that's good, as it shows they are on the ball (no such check at Stansted)

Re: Embroidery
I love that crewel work. It's beyond me but I have a friend in Spain who does the most wonderful stuff....she's done several of Helen Steven's work, plus she designs her own!
Re: Embroidery
C'mon, Wendy, your stuff is amazing, I'm sure you could do satin/long & short stitch standing on your head!! I'm scared to even attempt Hardanger......wendywombat wrote:I love that crewel work.

Re: Embroidery
Hardanger is simple compared to any form of needlepainting!
