Because someone admired another stitched work that had already been sold in a local gallery, I set out to create something similar. It’s not quite finished, but you might like to see this work in progress. Should it be included in my Silver Birch Forest series?
I just need to finish the sky, and decide how to complete the landscape: bright flowers or serene grass? We’ll both have to wait and see…
Stitching on fabric rather than tapestry canvas is a whole new experience for me, and I’m enjoying the speed at which I can complete a work: hours rather than weeks!
Here’s my most recent stitching work, which I’m pretty pleased with as it’s different from anything I’ve done before. Although working cross stitch and long stitch on tapestry canvas will probably remain my favourite way of making fibre art, it’s good to have new tools in my skill set.
See my other recent stitching on canvas (I’m still reluctant to claim ’embroidery’ as I don’t think I have the skills yet) here.
