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.
What an idea! It's beautiful.

ReplyDeleteYour embroidery looks flawless. Mine, on the other hand, looks a little bit like a first-grader did it.....
ReplyDeleteThis is probably one of my favorite-ever projects you have done. It is just gorgeous.
You truly have a gift.
