Crayon Tinting

Helooo everyone....


This time its crayon tinting. Since i don't get much time to work on large embroidery piece..i like to keep them small and simple. This helps me avoid piling up my unfinished projects. Know about how to do crayon tinting at http://pimpstitch.typepad.com/blog/2008/09/tutorial-monday-crayon-tinting.html



So, folks…make some good use of those old, not in use crayons of your children (I used mine :P) and make some easy and colourful embroidery…

Love...

Another BE project -A quick post

Lack of time and energy after long work days and various other obligations are a few reasons that compelled me stay away from embroidery and posting. But today I was determined enough to make a post at least. Today I want to share my second BE project. It’s a small square measuring 12 X 12 cm. You are likely to make out the stitches that I have used by seeing it.


All the knots are colonial knots. The background filling is pekinese stitch. I added the background to fill the space between the flowers. And for the rolled roses I would like to thank Deepa for her valuable BE lessons gift......they are a life long treasure.

The main intention behind creating this square was to try different BE stitches. I didn't have anything in mind at that point of time. But now that I have completed, I am wondering what to do with it. Should I frame it or use it in the middle of a cushion or.....any suggestion?

I will be back soon friends..
Love,
Anu
