There wasn’t much time
for stitching this week, I’m working on a knitting project for a little girl
that will be born soon. So there’s not much progress on my Phoenix this week. I
finished the outline in Portuguese stem stitch and marked the border of my work
in yellow tacking thread. I don’t stitch a border, because my daughter want her
phoenix framed.
The next step will be
pulled thread. I already gathered my books . . .
. . . and some of my old
embroideries for inspiration. I took a photo of them together, because I’m sure
many of you never saw my older work. The oldest piece on this photo is my
dragon, I made it for the Stitch Explorer Assisi challenge at Pin Tangle in
March 2009. I only used stranded floss for this ornament, you can read more
about it
here. The first time I tried pulled thread is in my Casalguidi tree,
which I made in May 2009 for another Stitch Explorer challenge. You can read
more about this tree
here. Nefertiti was the last embroidery I made in Sharon’s
PLOS class. You can read more about my Nefertiti
here. I made the last 2
embroideries for Sharon’s Sumptuous Surface class in 2011. I wrote about my sumptuous pieces
here and
here.
Work In Progress
Wednesday is a support group to encourage people to complete languishing
projects, Works In Slow Progress or UFO’s.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenDank je wel, Marloes. Ik vond het zelf ook leuk om al die oude werkjes weer te zien. Ik vraag me af waar ik de tijd vandaan haalde!
VerwijderenYou can get a lot of inspiration both from the books and your previous work. I haven't done any pulled work since I took Sharon's Sumptuous Surface Embroidery course. Time to take out MY work and get inspiration...
