Finished!

This is the first piece in my new series of embroideries. Based on images from my grandmas photo album it is called No. 14 and is the first in a row of "houses". Work still ongoing on my second piece, No. 17 - will post pics when finished.

Lambing time

It's lambing time here at Bumble Designs - here's a photo of one we had to warm through last night. He's safely back with mum now!

Thought I would share a sketch of Sally the lamb from a previous year along with the embroidery I stitched of her.

Work in Progress

Appliqué, bullions, wrapped threads and lots and lots of French knots! Nearly finished now - just a few last minute additions.

Today ...

 

Today I am working on my Alchemy piece. Hand stitching lots of French knots and listening to the radio. I hope to be able to post later with my progress...

Paper and stitch

Some very tiny embroideries - emulsion and watercolour on vintage fabric with hand stitching. Insert appliquéd onto vintage papers.
