It won, the gimp that is. Remember here I was debating the addition of gimp? Last night gimp was trailed across this piece. I'm not sure if that's it finished. I am deciding, thinking, considering.
Looking at it here has actually given me an idea. I will keep that to myself for now, think on it some more. Meantime I will play with ideas for the lining of this one. Simply lining it with white silk would work I'm sure but I also wonder if adding strips of the patterned cloth would lift that, add interest. Later today I will play, pin some pieces together, mix and match......
(the ''related posts'' thingy on this blog is becoming very irritating. It automatically suggests posts depending on the text within each blog post. It only ever suggests the same posts here no matter what I type. So, an experiment.....bullion knots, silk, patchwork, cross stitch, applique, white, loops, pins, cloth, embroidery, samples, sampling, pouch, pocket....nope....nothing.) Ok then, I will suggest other reads for you, this, this and this...maybe...if you want to.
