Perspective

Still thinking about apples – obsessing some might say.

But also working on stitches and playing with perspective – sampling with running stitch – here is a small desert scene.

and here is a small sample based on reeds.

In both cases I coloured white quilters muslin with fabric crayons, set the colour with the iron and then started stitching :-)

framing .. and stitching

a not very good photo of a now framed embroidery - I posted a this embroidery not so long ago launching my micro framing business. I have also framed a couple of my paintings - they look so different with a frame around them. After seeing this posted I think I will turn the abstract around and hand it portrait rather than landscape. The following painting of an apply is small - done on a canvas board and mounted on mat board with no glass. and I have been working on stitch samples nearly every night - one of them (colonial knots) also ended up in a frame too, but, in this instance, behind glass :-
