It's finished (well almost), just a few finishing touches to add and a trim. I'm really pleased with this piece and glad I managed to resurrect it from the land of unfinished embroidery. I've really enjoyed sitting by the fire on these chilly nights and sewing away. I also like the way it grew organically and is quite different from the plan I had originally sketched out.
It reflects on the thoughts of too many things to do and not enough time to do them in, but also that I'm away a fair bit and do not always have the time to indulge some of my other passions. I am though more determined to make more time for my other indulgences and enjoy the progress and the final product of that time.

So what next you may wonder........Well I have lots of ideas and pieces of fabric waiting to be worked into and developed. But I have enjoyed the embroidery so much that I'm going to continue with it especially on these dark nights. I have this piece in progress, which is on a cyanotype print I did last summer when we had that one day of sun! So watch this space, I will post pictures of it's progress here or on Facebook.
My next project......
love the bird and the new piece is gorgeous... peacock feather?
ReplyDeleteThanks Claire :), yes its a peacock feather. There's also some lace and other bits and bobs on the cyanotype that I'm hoping to work into too.
ReplyDeleteHope you're doing well, how was Paris?
Gorgeous embroidery tracy, love the colours you have used. I find it hard on my eyes at this time of year though,not much daylight. Look forward to seeing how the other piece develops. jaynex
