Sorry if you missed me yesterday, We had a bit of a storm and lost internet and power. It happens when you live in the back of beyond.
I have been working on some small wall art collages using sheer applique.
They are all nearly finished, just a little bit of free machining on a few of them.
This one is a Ginko leaf and I have done a little bit of beading on the frayed fabric. I intend to echo the flower shape and colour in the quilting.
For this geranium leaf, I used fly stitch in the background colours for the hand stitched accent.
For this dandelion leaf, I mirrored two fly stitches then wove two sets of purple thread through the centre, finally doing green french knots to make the woven lines into crosses. I liked this.
This gum leaf is the least finished. My intent is to embroider little circles with different coloured centres in two browns.
This one has been shown before. It was the first one I made.
Now I don'tknow if you have been counting, but there appear to be five of these and I said earlier that they were to be a set of four. Well, I thought I would do an extra one, just in case I don't like the way they hang together.
I was never a girl guide, but it is better to always be prepared.
