The video today is a follow on from the video in my last post which you can see here.
The paper pieces are my priority but it was a good decision to work a little on lace cloth as a possible option for the reverse of the paper piece when it is finished.
I particularly like how framing the silk velvet scraps lifts them, how it defines and gives them a padded appearance.
Progressing the paper piece.....it's growing.....it's time to join two pieces.
The seam from that joining will be embellished with bullion knots and I have made five little paper buttons to be added to this piece further down the line.
It's slow going but it's a happy growing, a pleasure to handle and to embroider.
