Cut Through

Fooling around with cutwork
attracted a crowd of terrestrials
and a gazillion seed stitches.

Buttonhole stitch worked it's way around holes of machine embroidery.

One stood out from the crowd.
I think he fancies himself.

Hands and toes and heads meeting in the crowd.

Stitched years ago
Looking it at today with older eyes
I think I have an idea coming on!

    A single seed can go unnoticed but a crowd has so much potential!

    Hi Penny - wonderful rich colors here- I love the seed stitching. Your work is always interesting - even though this was done some time ago it looks very contemporary - very exciting. Gilly

    Glad you like the stitching! Some people call me the queen of embellishment...I suppose because I never know when to stop!

    That's just cool! Neat effect with the cut outs, the color changes and the embroidery.
