French Country Hen Punch Needle Embroidery...

French Country Hen...

I have been experimenting with different flosses and Perle cottons 
in my Punch Needle Embroidery.



Black and White checked background...

I am looking for depth and contrast.
I like to bring the stitchery "alive" with color and movement.
Not always an easy thing, but worth aiming for ;)





These are my simple and very basic tools for Punch Needle Embroidery.
Why the Ball canning jar, you ask ??





The small Ball canning jar holds my Perle Cotton ball 
in place while I needlepunch.
It fits perfectly when slid between the cushion and arm rest 
and never moves.
The Perle Cotton Ball stays in one place while I punch and punch...


Punching through the week, (literally)... ;)
