Still having fun with hand embroidery...
I've been trying out some new stitches, making marks and varying lines and threads.
Never realized hand embroidery could be so much fun!
I can see a whole world of possibilities opening up.
I always associated hand embroidery with those cross stitch kits you always see in the shops.
They never appealed to me.
I guess it's the same with quilting, I can admire the incredible
craftsmanship that goes into traditional quilting. I would just never make one.

I do have to keep telling myself that creating textures is not coming along until the next chapter.
I'm so used to work 3 dimensionally on my dolls that my brain keeps rushing of and wants to "raise the surface" a little.
Love the little sample of French knots that I did. Although I am only working in white on a black background at the moment, I can see anything from a field of flowers to a cosmic explosion in it.
