This very prolonged cold, wet, grey winter has put me in the mood for cosying up indoors with some hand stitching! Having printed the image below onto some cotton fabric (above), I added some simple hand stitching to the larger areas. I have also free machine stitched the outlines around the shapes.
As I said in my previous post, these shapes remind me of beach huts, so I decided to transform an area into just that, without being too obvious......I hope! Only problem is, the round topped shapes towards the bottom are also now reminding me of lolly sticks! Oh well, beach huts, iced lollies, both appropriate for the seaside I suppose! I think I must be really trying to will our summer into being, soon! Hand stitching will also be added to the larger areas, which should also help to disguise those wrinkles.
Finally, below are five postcards I have made for a small exhibition of artists postcards to be shown at DC3 in Eastbourne very soon. To be honest, apart from the bottom one, they are all small pieces of discarded/unfinished textiles that I had given up on. I tend to keep these bits though, as sometimes, they can come in useful for small projects like this. They measure 6" x 4".
Thanks for joining me again, and I hope your creativity is in full swing too.
