Harry takes quality control Very Seriously!

A small fawn plushie dog inspects some hand embroidery in progress.

Oh dear. I've not finished the #LaidAndCouchedWork for the #AethelflaedEmbroidery, and I've run out of silk.

So there will be a pause while I order some more!

Photo of my spool holder (made out of a plastic milk bottle), with three spools on it. The top on is ok, the second is down to the last couple of layers of thread, and the second is down the last few loops.
Text in violet below the last spool reads "Oh. Oh dear."

For exciting reasons I'm not prepared to talk about yet, I'm revisiting Stella's Birds and really hope to get the design settled soon..

Just to catch everyone up, this is going to be a design inspired by a scene in Elizabeth Goudge's novel "Gentian Hill", in which a woodcarving in a church is described. I'm intending the stitching to be vaguely Mountmellick inspired, with lots of textural stitches, and the birds are going to be mad and medieval...

Today's finishing point for Aethelflaed's border. Progressing more quickly now, I'm not getting so tangled up!

View of the embroidery in progress. The blue border now goes across the bottom and up the right side, and I have started on the top border.

Today's progress on the border for the #AethelflaedEmbroidery. I think it's about an hour's work, but I am now too stiff to continue!

Close up of today's starting point on the border for the #AethelflaedEmbroidery

After this morning's work, I have finished up to the height of the wall.

I'm working on the border for the #AethelflaedEmbroidery, and since it uses three colours of silk at once, I had to work out how to control the spools...

MacGyvered it with an old milk bottle (clean and dry, of course!).

Spool holder improvised with a plastic milk bottle and some pencils, lying on the Aethelflaed embroidery.

It actually took almost half a day to start on this brooch, as I was so unsure of myself!

Maybe the lesson in there is that no matter what else is going on, I need to do a little everyday😳😄

Have you ever put aside your handiwork and felt unsure about approaching it again?

As @granny_magick_margaret_jamison just posted ‘Protection Symbols’, the pentacle and triquetra are powerful symbols to either have on you or wear!

The patches I make are for just such a purpose!

I got back to Aethelflaed this morning. Tussocky grass in progress!

#HandEmbroidery #OpusAnglicanum #MedievalMoversAndShakers #Aethelflaed

The grass in front of the building site Aethelflaed is visiting. I've departed from classical opus anglicanum to make it seem tussocky.

Here’s what I’ve been up to in the last several weeks! Trying a new format with some new techniques, AND setting up my new etsy shop!

These are available for purchase from my shop.

Piece no.8, 9, & 10

This tiny moss sampling was interesting because I tried some new techniques with crocheted bits and waxed thread.

It was a birthday gift for my favourite relative, Aunt Krista. She’s so vibrant and loving, and deserves all the best that life can give her.

This took many different techniques and materials but went much faster than the previous lichen piece. I used no. 928, 907, 581, 3345, & 166…and a bit of green yarn for the round mood moss. It was all embroidered on grey craft felt and cotton fabric together .

Piece no.7

I’m working on realistic techniques and creating a sort of go-to catalog so that it’s not all so impulsive and with better colour assortments.

I used the DMC pearl 907 for the moss and a sample orange sewing thread that I have to find more of, on craft felt.

I ❤️ how this turned out! My favourite so far. This laprose lichen embroidery piece is something I‘ll only do once in a while because it‘s VERY time consuming☺️ It was a birthday gift for my uncle which we celebrated last week.

The second photo is of the lichen that inspired my embroidery! Just love how beautiful nature is😍

Yet another gift! This one for my brother-in-laws partner. She’s an amazing mum, an awesome baker, and a super sweet lady.

The frame’s one of the many we get for free from people putting on the curb side, or has been stored in our artists abode for a different purpose.

I try my best to repurpose items, including clothes, textiles, yarn, ribbon, cords, beads, buttons, zippers, all sorts of sewing notions, tissue paper, gift wrap, boxes, etc. I can’t let anything go to waste if I can see a purpose for it.

This is one small part of many things I have control over to help the planet.

Piece no.5
