It was a fairly simple idea but no one was here to push my stop button, so I just kept on stitching, and stitching.
But even I knew to stop at this point. I am sure this will not appeal to many. It's a bit of gilding the lily, I suppose. On the other hand, it makes it more whimsical (in my mind) and turns the teardrop into a balloon of sorts. Surely that's more cheerful?!
Either way, it was a pleasant way to spend the afternoon.

It looks so lovely! I never thought of a teardrop ...
ReplyDeleteI think the colors looks great - I really like it.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I can take the suspense much longer - when do we get to see the whole thing?!?
ReplyDeleteThe addition of the coloured hand stitching is a delightful finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally curious as to what this is going to turn into!
ReplyDeleteVery cool Susan, you did a great job on it!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt is fine! I love it. Your stem stitch is really neat, too. Where will you go with this next?
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Is that stem stitch or did you couch the thread? I suspect it's very neat stem stitch but I need to be sure!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a road round a wee cul-de-sac!! I absolutely love your hand stitching - I don't think it's gilded at all. I think it's the framing for the picture. Perfect!!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL !

To be honest I have no idea whether I'll likebit or not as I have no idea what you're up to lol! The linen and perle look fab. Keep going!
ReplyDeleteIt is genius.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a happy piece.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a balloon, and a very happy one, too :) Thanks for the close-ups, after seeing the instagram photos I was curious what kind of stitches you used. Of course I don't know the name, but they are perfect.
ReplyDeleteDarn your stitching is good! And of course it is a lasso !
