(Well, almost two days!)
Since coming back to the Flickr and Blogger folds, my blackwork commissions of treasured childrens' storybook illustrations have been getting rather a lot of love.
And today they were featured on Mr X Stitch's "Too Cute Tuesday" post by the wonderful blogger Olisa Corcoran (aka cocoaeyesthestitcher):
The response to these pieces has just reconfirmed for me that delicate blackwork is what I should be focusing on right now... I'm working up a little series, and will hopefully exhibit them in the summer. Here's the first of the series:
I found you via the blogs that you mentioned. I love your black work it's beautiful x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm working on honing it. I've had a look at your blog; your girls are so sweet and winsome.
DeleteThese are beautiful, I love the way you've transferred them onto the hankies. Are they hand stitched? I only do cross stitch so this is new to me. Do you draw the pictures then stitch over them or chart them first and do counted stitches?
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteThey are hand stitched, they are a combination of being roughly sketched on to the hankies with pencil and then stitched over, and free hand embroidery.
beautiful kate!!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Emma! I so enjoy working in this style, it seems I've found one which really suits me. :)
DeleteBeautiful designs. I love your design and the embroidery.
