More tiny stitched samples to fill pages and build up my stash. This was a good choice of pastime in the days leading up to my London trip although if you could see the state of my house you might disagree. There are scraps of paper and cloth everywhere. Every time I move I trail thread behind me. I keep stepping on dropped beads and seeing glistening all over the floors from dropped sequins. I'm not bothered though..maybe the elves will come in and clean up when I'm away...probably not though.
When I'm working on these little things they give me so many ideas for using the technique, the process on other pieces. The folded corner of a hankie....that's one I have used before many times. I have used it here too and it's given me another idea as has the use of silk velvet alongside embroidered paper. That one in particular has gotten me very excited. (4th image) I think you'll be seeing a lot more of that.
