Sumptuous Surface Embroidery
Week two
This is the
design we have finally decided on – one shell and the waves. I have transposed
the design onto 25ct Lugana even weave. Now for the real fun. I am going on a
long bus trip tomorrow, so it is too good a chance for some sewing time on the
bus.
The top of
the waves will be low relief blending into high relief in the lower half. The
high relief stitching covering all the lower half not dividing the waves into
their individual components. The low relief upper portion will show each wave outlined
in a lovely silk lightly variegated from light to dark green, and each one in
soft save greens and individual stitches in each section.
For the
shell I have a lovely greeny/blue variegated stranded cotton and a bluey/mauve
very fine boucle for the ridges. I have
also found the thrums from my Ikat scarf, most of which will be great for this.
It is 20/2 silk
