Slow Stitching Sunday
I made progress on my radical botanical piece. I have been recycling for this one. On the left, you can see some purple plastic lids. I was inspired by Jessica Grady to do more with recycling. I think they make interesting flowers. Next to those 'flowers' are some flowers I created with the netting from a bag fruit came in. In the centre, there are some flowers that were made using crinkled paper strips. I forget where they came from, packaging of some sort I think.
The main flowers are in and now I think I will just embroider some smaller ones to fill in the gaps. It is a rainy day here so it seems like a lovely way to spend my afternoon. It worked best for the family to all come for my hubby's fantastic barbecued hamburgers yesterday for dinner. So it will be a quiet day of stitching for me.
It is quite possible that I will finish this piece today. The challenge isn't due until June 15 but I like having things done early. Plus, in two weeks we will be in Italy and Switzerland for two weeks. Having it done before we leave would definitely feel good to me.
