Yippie.....I'm finally able to work without yelping....fingers are improving daily after my dramatic tumble!
The designs were the result of a 4 bath dye (separate colors for each 'dunking'). The felt was folded numerous times & secured with narrow wood slats and hair clips & strong rubber bands.
Again, as is typical....I dig through the vast collection of embellishments, (okay I'm admitting I have a LOT of beads and trinkets). The stitching seems to go more smoothly once I have a 'pallete' to work with. However, it often takes me an hour plus to make those initial decisions! Mainly, cause I really don't have a clue what I'm going to do until I pick up the needle.
The beginning.....some hand stitching has been added to the left side using variegated thread. Before deciding whether or not I want to duplicate that same stitch pattern on the right, I'm going to begin adding some beads.
Let's see what happens.......
Looking forward to the progress on this one. love the earth tones!
