I used little 6"x 4" canvases for these little pictures, collaged pages from a gardening book and used Liquitex Inks to colour.
I revisited Pintangle [Take a Stitch Tuesday] to remind myself how to to do some of the embroidery stitches I have done in the past. Sharon is showing how to do embroidery stitches again if you wish to join in.
Above - Raised herringbone band, running stitch.
Slipped detached chain stitch, cross stitch.
Fancy hem stitch, running stitch.
Up and down feather stitch, running stitch.
I shall include these on Simply Neutrals Tuesday, do pop along to see more.
Reminds me of your altered calendar book with small stitch samples on lace - many of them pink. That was you, wasn't it?

Beautiful lace and embroidery collages Linda! They have such a peaceful feel to them. I especially love the embroidery you did, wonderful! Thank you for joining :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous background you have used. Very effective juxtaposition of vintage laces with earthy texture.
