The surface of this silk is slowly filling up with embroidered motifs......cross stitch roses and French knots clusters. I am conscious that you have seen this several times already and although I am adding to it sporadically it perhaps never looks any different to you. After all, a cross stitch rose and a French knot cluster are just that no matter how many of them you embroider. So....this morning.....a quandary.....how to make this even the slightest bit different?
Colour wash some tissue paper, scrunch it up and just lay it down alongside the embroidery was the answer. Complimentary colours, not a strict colour match, more an accompaniment, like salt and pepper.
