Work in Progress


I added a new dimension to the peacock picture I am in the process of adding trailing, you can see it clearer on the picture below, it's the wiggly lines. Basically it's like a form of couching but rather than spaced out stitches they lie next to each other very close, and very neat. I've done various things to this trailing, splitting the lengths of the core threads, and also cutting them back so the lines of trailing can get thinner and thinner, or branch out like well like branches on a tree. I am on the homeward straight with that I've gone from very pale turquoise to emerald green and I will end it on a dark royal purple.


I've still got plenty more to do with this picture, you will note the wing has come off, that's because I will stitch that down last, I also want to add more eyelets and satin dots too. So watch this space.
