I'm going through a bit of a low phase energy wise lately and pushed myself to head for the sewing studio after lunch today. I wanted something fun and non demanding. My pieces of painted canvas which I did 2 book marks last week from were perfect. This one I've left in one piece as it might be later used for a small pouch.
I started with the black loosely going around some white flowers for pop. Then I switched to a metallic bronze for the circles. It's just plain fun--almost like gestural drawing. The pink is Wonderfil Accent, a heavier weight shiny polyester that's great for show. It's fun to see the flowers emerge as you add the stitching.
The piece above is a detail of a section I cut off to make 2 more bookmarks.
I passed a couple of hours absorbed in stitching once I got started. Now I'm off for a tea break and a rest before dinner.
