The Project - an update

Having foolishly said i would attempt to do one embroidery a week i promptly put the project down and have done very little on it. I am working on the next image now....but it could be a long time before there are any results.......

following are some of the ones i have finished (almost) so far:

the girls from the street fashion parade in Reykjavik, tidied up


the next ones are from my photos from the Senckenberg (Naturmuseum Senckenberg) in Frankfurt: hello Karen! Hello Stella!


A couple of very good looking beetles from the insect display and the top image is a wonderful dinosaur from the gallery





I've done these embroideries on off white silk organza with black thread



And now we get onto my first tries at the Icelandic part of the story: some of the gorgeous flowers growing along the canyon edge at Dettifoss. two different versions trialling the leaf contribution.......not sure which one i prefer......i might have to do one with no leaves at all, just the daisies scattered
