Starting to stitch and taking it slowly, bit by bit.
I placed it on a muslin backing and tacked it into place, using Jude Hill's method and it has made it nicer to work, feeling more like a whole cloth.
I am using some Kantha type border stitches in places.
Wonderful!-Julie
ReplyDeleteI really like your b/w works!
ReplyDeleteLOVELY!
Love the texture and varied stitch - and of course the black and white. It'll be fascinating to see where it goes ...
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching and great contrast. I believe the stitching where you are looping the thread under and around the base tacking is called banjara.
ReplyDeleteI am completely entranced by this and your previous black and white post Jackie. I haven't been keeping up with my bloghopping and look what I have been missing out on! Beautiful work and marks.
ReplyDeleteThanks all for the comments; I follow your interesting book collaborations susan and wish you luck with your digital sketching Vicki.
