Stitching Silk



 

When I started stitching in my little silk book I was thinking I would do just leaves and fill them in with many different stitches.  Now I have reconsidered and I am including other things from the natural world.  I have used the Turkman stitch for one wing of this dragonfly and really like the way it looks.  So now I am wondering if I should use that stitch for all the wings.  That doesn't go with my original plan so I am not really wanting to do that.  Possibly I could do the opposite wing with this same stitch as I do like the symmetry of it.

    What a great stitch for the wing.

    Angela, personally my vote is for the opposite wings matching. You always have the body to try out a third stitch and suspect other insects with wings (fly? butterfly? bee?) to play some more.

    I'm glad you changed your mind and started on a dragonfly instead of another leaf - follow your heart!
    If I were you I'd do the other wing also with Turkman stitch and then the two smaller wings in another similar stitch (Crossed Feather, Double Lock, Buttonholed Double Chain ...)

Slow Stitching Sunday

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
