Starting something new is exciting. I am using the iris squares/circles.
They belong together. The gray base fabric is lightly painted - going along with the watercolor effect of the dyed squares.
I am experimenting with a solid hand-stitched line. I like that it looks like drawing - drawing with thread.
Looking for ways to hold everything together.
pssst... lovely new thread drawings by Jeana Marie Blackert.

thank you so much, grace. it feels good to try something new. it's funny - I can't find any lavender/purple embroidery thread in my stash. so lavender IS new to me.
ReplyDeletehope the goat show/hauling went well.
totally loving this. the softness, elegant.
ReplyDeletethank you, jude. the watercolor look of the fabrics has me thinking of all sorts of possibilities...
ReplyDeleteThe soft watery greys and purples are fabulous and I love the way the circles appear and disappear in and out of the different fabrics.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful!!
