Last month I told you I was going to work on the piece I started at Summer School. I had machined all the pieces together and was then trying to decide what to do with it.
I thought I would put the three words I had used in all the printed fabric onto a photo.
The fabric is much darker in the photo than it actually is! I was thinking of cutting the letters out of fabric and bonding them on. However the printed fabric was done in my handwriting, so I used an italic Copic pen to write my three words on tissue.
I used satin stitch with a dark grey thread for 'captivity'. And an ochre thread for 'freedom'.
Then I needed to decide what colour to stitch 'identity'.
I chose the variegated skein.
So now it's back to thinking about the other pieces I've already started!
Thanks for being here today

We were discussing my embroidery efforts and OH asked if there was a particular stitch I liked/disliked. I said Satin Stitch is my nemesis. It looks beautiful when done well. But I just can't do it, as i don't have the skill. What skill? he asked PATIENCE I replied. He laughed and laughed. But I shall show him this picture of your work which is beautifully executed. And maybe I shall practice a little more...
