Avante Gard, messy, shabby chic. Many descriptions for my styles of stitching.

noreply@blogger.com (Phillipa) — Mon, 30 Mar 2020 21:32:00 +0000

Over the previous 5 years living on the road much Crochet has been done. Many many repetitions

of some patterns. This is mostly for my own

record in case phone photos are ever lost.

It wasn't til I started to check my photos that I realised just how much work I have produced.

Happy Stitching

Slow-Stitching. Paints and stitching. An easy Take with-you project.

noreply@blogger.com (Phillipa) — Thu, 20 Feb 2020 21:55:00 +0000

Along with my collage and stitching on paper,

I have played with a piece of pellum.

Coloured it using watered down acrylic paint and beetroot juice. :)

I just dropped the first colours on and then sorta squished the fabric to make the liquids move and blend.

Then I used a couple of old jars to create the circles.

Just dipped them in the paint/liquid and stamped

randomly.

Lots of delicious circles on a mottled background.and some splattering as well.

Hang to dry but watch what's underneath it as you will get drips.

I decided to stitch the fabric doubled as this was firmer to the touch. Pellum can tear easily at the thickness I have used.

(I'm not sure what the fabric is called in other countrys.

This is a thin, pressed type of batting?.)

Half a metre then folded.

Next onto the stitching preparation.

This is a great way to use up the odds n ends from your other projects.

I've gathered the small lots of threads I have rescued from the Charity shops. These have unintentionally ended up in Earthy tones.

And now I have my Slow-Stitch project ready and

the running stitch is the stitch of choice.

Something slow and quiet to do while I binge watch movies online :)

Perfect as a project to take along wherever you need a moment to decompress. ;)

I'm still working on the paper and stitch collages between.

you are very welcome to follow along and get an update on my progress.

Crochet Flowers

noreply@blogger.com (Phillipa) — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 02:55:00 +0000

While looking into what stitching I can do

once we go mobile later this year, I resurrected my limited crocheting skills.

So here are a few of the little flowers

that have been appearing around the place.

Ive used fine wools and crochet cottons and embroidery threads.

A few have ended up on the Angel hats....but.

...Wait there's more ;)

What to do with flowers when you obsessively stitch like I do.

As soon as the project is done I will post photos.

til then
