I like to look a various stitches and then see what they look like in different threads, and the different effects that can be achieved. At the time I did this I belonged to a small group of ladies who liked to embroider. We got together every Tuesday, and this is what I came up with by looking at different stitches and executing them with various types of threads.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.
