WIPW - One More Stumpwork Portrait

For this week's Work In Progress Wednesday I can report on yet another

Stumpwork Portrait

In this case, the draping of the green silk is the main feature. It is simply a piece of scrap left from the latest Crazy for Crazy octagon block.

I have also made a beaded trim for the edges on this and the previous cards:

I learned this technique from Pamela of Hokkaido Kudasai. You will find it here.

Freeform Embroidery

I have started a freeform embroidery on evenweave. I will ignore the grid and stitch as I like, choosing stitches from Sunday Stitch School and TAST. Mainly Perle #8 will be used.

Crazy for Crazy

has been shelved for the time being - as summer 'gets in the way'.

I will take things easy for a bit, enjoy a rest, and my blog activities, both writing and reading, will be put on the back burner.
