The finished cushion. Inspired by the wonderful woven silk from Stephen Wallters . My friend Julia kindly gave me a bag of offcuts. How lovely a friend is that!
The secret to making a multi-facted design like this work is to tie the design together. Here it is the use of threads to do the "New Embroidery". The colour choice for these threads blends in very well.
I hope this inspires YOU!

Fab! The Roses 'fabric' would be a good for a cushion cover on it's own, get stamping and embroidering sweet Joan.x
ReplyDeleteHow about selling small pieces on Etsy, of your own stamped fabrics, perhaps using natural dyed fabric, you have the whole hedgerow to use as dye material. Just a thought.x
