Bright Flowers

Bright Flowers
I tried some different techniques with fabric in Bright Flowers (9" by 6"). I like the contrasting textures; and the overall feel of flowers nearly at their peak before dropping. These cheer me up in the midst of our World's Japanese horror. I hope it cheers you up a bit too.

At close of needle I was working on a formal garden worked mainly in textured embroidery. Again I am trying new stitches. It is looking a bit wonky so far. I need an embroidery hoop I think. I am treating it as sampler for new stitch work and so give myself permission to have it a bit wonky! If it is not too bad I will post it soon.

Happy stitching everyone, Gilly

    Wonky is GOOD! Sometimes I drive myself crazy wanting everything 'just so' - when really if it were to reflect the true me it would be full of 'odds and ends'! Lovely flowers in beautiful colors.

    Thats piece is so beautifully textured it would be great for some of our visually impaired children to feel and make sense of 'a picture'. I make tactile resources for VI kids and you have achieved exactly what is ideal for them........and its cracking looking too lol smashing

    this is lovely Gilly, I especially like the ''simpleness'' of the white flowers.

    Thankyou all very much. I am very interested in what you have said about VI resources liniecat. What are the ingredients that I managed to put together? Gilly
