Well the butterfly has taken a totally new tack. Have almost finished the wings, and am a bit disappointed in my execution of the ideas of colour. Cant seem to get the trail right so have decided to take a total new tack. Do away with the trail and stitch other butterflies and flowers at random....using different techniques for each butterfly....this project could end up back on the shelf! Can see this is going to be one of those "long term projects".
This blog space is a record of what I have made and through this hopefully I can make new friends. My underwater scenes, using a variety of threads and found items are my favourite outlet for my creativity. Techniques such as Silk Ribbon, Brazilian, Casalguidi, Blackwork, Mountmellick, and Schwalm have also captured my imagination. I am also an artist, using acrylics and oils to capture the Australian landscape and Still Life.

He is gorgeous and it is all those little mishaps that make us creative. I actually love the colours and I know you will turn it into something spectacular
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly is wonderful. If I had done that, I would be so chuffed! :-)
