After my adventures at Hope and Elvis and my trawls around Hemswell, I had a lot of scrappettes and fripperies waiting patiently to be used.
This piece has taken a long time to make but I loved every minute.
I really enjoyed trapping the lace fragments in the stitching, it's a technique I'll definitely be trying again.
The only problem I have now is what to do with it, should I keep it as it is, like a textile picture, or incorporate it into something else?
Any suggestions would be gratefully received!

Wow that is beautiful- Many hours of work right there! Maybe you could starch it, make a wire hanger type thing and hang it from a nail? It seems such a shame to put it behind glass, because you lose the textural qualities of the lace and stitching... And to put it on something like a pillow, it might get too much wear and tear. I love it, your machine embroidery skills are insane!
ReplyDeleteNo idea what to do with it it but it's gorgeous! Useless comment I'm afraid!

That's absolutely gorgeous and I'd be tempted to make it into a special cushion, not to be used for anything else other than a thing of beauty to be admired from afar....xx
