All embroidered and embellished |
This was the first time I had juggled my work schedule to attend and I managed to finish a dove for the xmas tree and start a pig.
The back of the dove |
The dove I first covered in white silk. This was then satin stitched around all the edge to hold it onto the pattern last. Then the embellishing starting. Silver thread is couched, sequins and beads attached and a little bit of stitching.
Both these projects are patterned and designed by Jane and the fabrics and threads are dyed by her. I loved having time out during the day to stitch and chat.
I do not need to start any other new projects but all of Jane's work just inspired me so much, I want to do a million things!!
