It´s here again! Holiday, sunbathing, swimming, and … slow stitching! Sadly, the holiday by the sea was only one week, but it was still great. Like every time we go on holiday I took a hand-sewn project with me, a fabric collage with a small bird. In contrast to the last time I didn´t work completely free. I took a picture of the collage and made a few black-and-white copies of it. During my everyday journeys by train, I sketched some designs which I used later on holiday as inspiration for quilting and stitching.
I chose some of my dyed cotton threads and some thin silk threads by Oliver Twist´s. One week of hand stitching, it was really beautiful.
The collage is almost finished, I´m only thinking about some beads or other embellishments. We will see.
Happy stitching!
