the rose garden & hearts


The rose garden - machine embroidery on hand dyed linen...one of my 'smaller' wall pieces..... So here it is my final machine embroidery work for a while.... it seems a rather bold 'finish'..... until now I have not stitched in my 'moonlit' style using red, not this size anyway..... it seems ever so slightly heady, rather like a rose garden....... and that rose in the photograph is from my garden and is a rather fading specimen with a short stem because of the way it was growing, a longer stem would have worked better for the photo but ah well.....



and two small heart brooches..... all of these will be in my shop later today, 7pm-ish UK time is when I will start to add things..... Goodness me, it feels rather like the 'end of term' but of course this is not the end but just a slight change of scene for a while.... and I feel it will be a good thing..... my machine has behaved well but needs a service and I need to explore ideas in other media, I've been itching to really work on my monoprints etc.... and I've been struggling a bit with a poorly shoulder that needs me not to use my sewing machine for a while, I think .... my stitch work will not rest for long, however, I'll be working on new ideas ready for the Autumn and have several projects ahead.....

more soon x

Beautiful beautiful work. Change is as good as a rest, time to explore is necessary to feed the soul, your plans for the Autumn sound exciting, my favourite time of the year ... Autumn into Winter ...

I just came across from {scissor variations} to see who made that beautiful heart and here I find these little people. How amazing! Your work is just brilliant!

It seems this is a time for "change" and that can be good. Your work is always lovely!
