This weekend I worked on leaves. I put in nine more bush clover leaves (14 leaves to go).
I decided to change it up on Sunday and worked on the chrysanthemum leaves. I'm loving working with flat silks. It's such a pleasure to work with, I can see myself stitching with it full time. Just need to build up my stash of silks.
The piece is really feeling empty on the right side. I need to figure out those pinks, the last time I put them in they were wrong and had to come out. I also really should finish the elements that are almost done, like the chrysanthemums and valerians. That way I can tick them off my list.

Good progress! I think you're right, it would be satisfying to have the "nearly finished" ticked off as "really finished"!
ReplyDeleteIt’s really coming along well! I’ve not used flat silk before. Perhaps I should try some on a small piece.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is looking better every time you show it...I love the bush clover leaves, so neat and shiny. But I agree, it would be nice to have a few more items 'fully finished' :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. I can see why you love the silks, the colours are so vibrant.
