Favourite of the Month: The Vanishing Half
Now onto the embroidery projects I completed throughout April. As with the previous month, I enjoyed coming up with original designs and trying out a few different styles.
The first piece here came from a desire to try out something with a more contemporary look, while the second piece is a more traditional landscape with a chunky, textural feel.
The cat piece was made as a birthday gift for a friend; the squirrel is part of my little ongoing series of woodland creatures; and I’d wanted to stitch a bee for a while!
