Over Christmas I had time to try out some new crafts. I did some knitting (which I never normally do), woodwork (which I never normally do) and I tried this craft which I learnt years ago. I've forgotten the name of it but it involves creating a 3D piece through blanket stitches on a piece of fabric. I made seaweed to attach to shells and over the weekend I started playing around, working out which shells to attach it to.
Hope your week is a cheerful one. See you soon. x
I like the fibre work. Nice shapes. Anyone else knowing the name of that technique?
ReplyDeleteoh Jill, they really are amazing ! I love the soft colors & the texture of it all !

ReplyDeleteWow! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful imagination! Such beautiful little gems...
ReplyDeleteyou're so clever jill! they are darling.
ReplyDeleteYes, a tutorial would be so great!
ReplyDeleteit might be called detached buttonhole stitching but I think there is also another name for it that is escaping me right now.
ReplyDeleteI love the pieces you made so much.
Oh, thanks. I found quite some tutorials concerning the detached buttonhole stich and it looks great. All of them are made on fabric though which I can't find in your pictures, Jill. Is there a little piece at the root that I don't see? Or how did you start your stitching? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Jill,
ReplyDeleteOf course now I'm retired, I can come to your tutorial! Love, love, love these!
