Side tracking...
...again.
The little silk piece from the other week has been calling out to me. I am just loving the feel of the smooth silk at the moment and all I want to do is create smooth, shiny little stitches. Colour in with thread. There is something about 'blank fabric' that does not always appeal, so I decided to fill the entire back ground as well. Tiny little running stitches, in neat little rows and using the grain of the fabric as a guide. Getting into a rhythm it was rather meditative.
Plump satin stitch seed completed the fruit. Almost good enough to eat.

At only 6cm (2 1/4") in diameter it would make a lovely brooch, pot lid or paperweight. I have another use in store and just need to get out the glue...
Happy Wednesday,

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty design, Anna! I have never seen an off centre pomegranate like that, and now I am wondering why. It seems so natural! Love the leaves too. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love the texture and interest the tiny stitches add, and yes, it does look good enough to eat!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, your little running stitches look like beads in the photos :)
