Second pebble

Yesterday I prepared the base for my second pebble. I rust dyed the muslin in
a tin box a few weeks ago. I wrapped the fabric around a rusty screw with an eye.

After rinsing, washing, drying and ironing it looked like this.

I secured most things I wanted to trap between 2 layers of muslin with a few stitches. At this point only the bottom fabric was stretched in a hoop. 

After trapping them between the 2 layers of muslin I stretched both pieces of muslin together in my 6 inch embroidery hoop.

A detail in a different angle. I’m looking forward to start stitching on this pebble.

This pebble is part of the pebble adventure at Stitchin Fingers. 
We use this tutorial to stitch our pebbles.
