Applique on this swatch header is now complete...five motifs each created using pleated cloth which has then been embellished with bullion knots and turquoise beads. This is one of four pieces which will be combined to create a sample book of embroidered silk panels joined with stitch to form a reference of stitch and technique ideas for various embroidered items such as panels, bags, pockets, buttons, pillows and toggles.
I am hoping to move this idea on over the coming days by gathering all my loose swatches together and refreshing my memory as to what each piece still needs in terms of embroidery and finishing.
