This is my piece so far for extending embellishment. Teacher is way behind everyone else. Isn't that always the way? It is at this school anyway........I can't be rushed though...the girls however are doing great, brilliant images here if you want to look.
My piece....well I love the mix of surfaces that are evolving on this piece...silk backing. vintage cloth inserts, scrim lace, stitched paper and a ton of Bullion knots.....I have plans for a little cutwork and an open area of sorts. I haven't got that one figured out yet though...it needs work and possibly another sample, we shall see.
Registration is still ongoing for the next wrapping cloth class....you could learn about this, this and all of this. Just pop here to read more....OK can't hang around, housework calling!

This is lovely Karen. Love the color peaking through!
I stay away for a couple of days only to come back and find almost more than my mind can comprehend. I simply must learn how you are creating that embroidered air.....I can see another class is my future...perhaps this late summer or most certainly this fall...Just too much to do right now to concentrate on this beautiful work.
I am dumbfounded with this stunning beauty.
Love, love, love those hidden colourful bits and those raised holes.
You have a lovely variety of textures here, Karen!
I love looking at what's going on in your classes. So many creative people out there.
love those sheer windows. been out in the garden all morning. need to get on with the stitching.
Karen, love your work, so special, always beautiful pure and pristine embroidery it is awesome...
ooh, love your trapped colours and stitches Karen!
Like Peggy said, miss a couple of days and the mind struggles to wrap itself around all the ethereal beauty. I love the knots and the bits of color. Your portfolio work is fabulous as well. I am going to clear the decks for a class in the near future. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Bullion wrapped edges of wispy lace over half-hidden flowers in gorgeous colours......wonderful! I love it!
I'm loving the way this new work is evolving, Karen.
The needleweaving is fab - it allows such tantalising glimpses through at the colours underneath!
oooooh - the colours peeping through the weaving are so pretty!! Being surrounded with bullion stitches just shows the colours off to perfection.
