Thank you all so much for your kind and encouraging words. I appreciate each and every one of them. You are all very encouraging! I did reduce the number of post per page to speed up the loading time and I hope that helps. Silly me never even considered that might be a problem!
So today finally after so long... I finished the top half of Small World! The paisley sun is finished. I am so happy with it and I cant wait to finish the moon!
As for the pics I posted yesterday. No Eva, it isnt wearable art, although that was a good guess. I am making myself a summer top and trying out an experiment with hand tied loose smocking. What do you think?
Loooove the sun ... it looks as though she's a bit worried about this world that getting the benefit of her light.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, lovely texture on my the smocked piece. My concern would be long threads carried across the back side of the fabric with this patterning.
I like the sun, her eyes are so expressive!
ReplyDeletethe colours on this are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHooray for a paisley sun!

Doh! Pronouns always get me in trouble.
ReplyDeleteBy "that" I mean your beautiful smocking.
