The reverse of the paperwork pieces...as requested by Karen. Some machine stitched paper hexagons and some printed hexagons, intended for the paperwork pieces but not used as I didn't feel they added anything of value to the work. They will be kept and used in the future, most likely in my sketchbook.
I am going to dash as I want to play with iron on transfers, cloth and paper for my next piece. If it's buttons you want then you need to be here. Have a lovely day....

Oddly almost prefer the textures of the backs. Is that wrong? Like the raised punched holes and the fluffy bits.
OH! You actually used thread in the machine stitching. I thought you just made the holes but didn't like them as well as the manually poked ones.
I tried some machine stitching with some tatting I did once, just zigzaged a simple edging to the paper - cardstock. I didn't like it at the time but I came across it a few months ago and decided I did like it...maybe with some tweaking and with other parts, not alone. Always fun to experiment and sometimes what doesn't seem right at the time morphs into something suitable later.
I find the backs fascinating too, that's what I liked about the embroidered piece I have, I could see the back too
backs, fronts...they are both beautiful. top 2 photos look like the old fashioned corsets.
aha... I find the backs to be just as interesting as the fronts of anything stitched. These are no exception. Seeing the other side somehow makes it feel whole - 3D rather than 2D, if that makes sense. Thank you!
Just finished my last day at work so had time to go through your last few blog entries, all beautiful, I love the change in direction, glad to hear they have sold as well, well done.
So many interesting textures, and subtly different from embroidery on fabric!
God, your stuff just amazes me. Its awesome back and front.
