Valdani variegated Perle Cotton
Choosing colors of Perle Cotton ...
Lavender blooms...
you can't see the individual lavender buds,
until the background is punched.
Punch Needle Embroidery
Stems and lots of delicate lavender leaves.
This is the back of my Punch Needle project.
When I have a lot of little details,
I will leave my Perle Cotton 'tails',
just a little bit longer. The details are
actually easier to punch around, when the 'tail' is longer,
because you can easily hold it back with a finger,
while you punch.
'Sweet Summer' Punch Needle design
There is nothing that says "warm weather"
quite like a lilac in bloom.
This lilac is about 60 years old
and smells so heavenly.
Not to mention that gorgeous color !
Traditional Wool Rug Hooking

ReplyDeleteAs always Rose, beautiful work. You talent never ceases to amaze me. Funny aside, when the photo of the back of your work scrolled through my screen I was a little surprised thinking you had started working in another direction, maybe modern or abstracts! Even the back looks good!!!
