Embroidery in All Shades of Gray
Last year I found a printed embroidery kit at the thrift store. Lots of flowers and plants, and I believe it came with a mess of crewel yarn.
I threw that out.
I knew I wanted to embroidery this whole great big piece in just shades of gray. So I bought every shade I could find at the craft store.
When I finished, I thought it still needed something, so I went in and embroidered random star shapes here and there above the plants and in between them. And then scattered it with clear seed beads.
Soon I will make it into a pillow.

So beautiful and artist. You have a well trained eye!
I think that this is my favorite thing that you have ever made!
I love muted colours. I find it so calming.
Can't wait to see the finished product!
What a great idea. This is so lovely.
This is a work of art (in MD)
Gorgeous! Brilliant idea. I love the muted tones.
Your embroidery looks flawless. Mine, on the other hand, looks a little bit like a first-grader did it.....
This is probably one of my favorite-ever projects you have done. It is just gorgeous.
You truly have a gift.
That. is. GORGEOUS! Can we please see a photo of the whole thing?
Exquisite. I hope you post a photo of the finished pillow!
