what if this is FUN? using an xacto knife i’d forgotten i had, i made three cutouts then wrapped one of them using 4 strands of floss (2 of each color). used 4 for no particular reason – certainly not for additional coverage because this fabric doesn’t ravel. that was so much fun, i (ambitiously) went ahead and bugged-up the entire leaf. what if we see what else we can do with this? i have a stray idea or two. others will show-up, no doubt, once i get going. might need some magnifying glasses, tho.
It is fun isnt it.
A very successful what if -“if” you ask me!
Looks like a praying mantis was nibbling on this giant leaf.
Genius! The possibilities are boundless.
what is beneath it? Mica or something? Inquiring minds are going a little bonkers trying to figure it out …
hey paula. yep, like they say: i can’t remember when i’ve had this much fun with my clothes on.
yep, judith, that’s one reason this is so much fun: there’s no end to what a girl can do with holes.
acey, i’ts more like fool’s gold . . .
cathie, maybe PREYING mantis is more like it. more about that soon. and hey, did i see a CORGI on your page? a cousin, as we call them. i have a pembroke welsh named phoebe. and north carolina? we’ll talk . . .
holey-moley you have been busy while I was away. my curiosity is piqued.
[…] And on the subject of gifts, one of mine was this delightful and inspiring book-The Art of Embroidery, by Francoise Tellier-Loumagne. One of the illustrations reminded me very much of what is happening here. […]
wow, wow, i have been so busy, i have missed all that is going on here.
