I made the commitment to finish and completed it last night. Phew! The technique used is thread painting and involved one piece embroidery floss at a time with a very fine needle.
I’m pretty pleased with how it came out, though I can obviously use a lot more practice with thread painting as it’s far from perfect.
Now, what to do with it? I’d like to put it in a nice frame, I spent too long working on it to put it to practical use.
Have you seen Trish Burr’s designs? There are a lot of beautiful pieces to choose from and the instructions are detailed. I would love to do more of her designs in the future.
