Autumn is my favorite season and blackwork is one of my favorite needlework styles, so needless to say, I am totally loving this piece. Stitching with a single strand of silk is such treat. However, I'm pretty sure the yellow leaf in the middle of it's row is going to have to be frogged. It's just a bit too, mmmm, yellow. I've photoshopped two additional leaves (#1 and #7) to illustrate what the row will (sort of) look like finished. I've only just begun the largest section, in the left hand corner. It's going to be a lot of blackwork, which means FUN. FOR. ME!
Stay tuned. More to come....
Happy November friends!
OOOOHHHHHHH! Such lovely blackwork! This is looking lovely Marnie, but I agree, that yellow is too bright.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for part 2, happy stitching!
I also love autumn...shuffling thru the leaves etc., and this is going to be a beautiful piece. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! But with all that blackwork, better you than me. ;)
