down on the pumpkin patch
the pumpkins grow amongst the woolly ploughed furrows
on a bed of hand dyed silk with metallic stitched boundaries
the machine stitching is enhanced with gold paint and gilding flakes
the beads on wire are couched down on the pumpkins fabric
and knots are stitched with "thread" torn from a chiffon scarf
I ripped the chiffon into "ribbons" to sew with
but I needed a bodkin with a large eye to get the chiffon thread through
sewing knots with chiffon
just a few ideas ... ahead of the tutorial on Saturday
please pop by if you would like to have a go at this very simple project
tomorrow ... landscape lines (with a message)

Another lovely piece Carolyn. I love the idea of the knots of chiffon.
Lovely colors. xox
So much incredible interest and the textures are crying out for fingers to stroke them. Very cool piece! :o) xx
Oh my how glorious is your project, you just want to reach in and stroke the different areas especially the chiffon knots! :-) xxx
Beautiful, as always!
Stunning piece yet again with such wonderful textures
Love Chrissie
I think this is my favourite. Oh crikey I sound like Bruce Forsyth on Strictly.
Can't wait to see the finished pieces.

I love the effect of the chiffon stitches...it's given me an idea to try using it with silk ribbon stitches. Hmmm....
