EYE CANDY, WIPS, (works in progress ) and so much to learn !

Hello people.....so cold here in the Uk today ! Have been sorting through my
stash and I have come to realise that I have so many projects to get on with........


    This first one is a ' Trish Burr design..............It is so pretty !!!
It comes from this book.............


If you really love 'Crewel' embroidery, then you need this book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I love ' close up' shots like this, so you can see the intricate detail of every stitch !



Next up is an experimental piece that I have been working on occasionally........as
the mood takes me ! Ooooooh I so love this hobby....It has kept me sane for years !










I think that I have used every conceivable stitch in my knowledge, on this little beauty from under the sea...........I hope that I have provided enough 'eye' candy for you this week..........OMG WHAT AM i GOING TO SHOW YOU NEXT !!!!
Have a fabulously fun week and thank you so very much for dropping by.........
BTW....thanks Mike for your great posts http://michaelgoodes.blogspot.co.uk/.......xxxxxxxxxxx

  1. Never enough eye candy from you Chris ~ lol. I hae been looking through and making a plan to finish up some UFOs also. These you've shown are gorgeous. I love this hobby too. One can get lost in stitching...to a good place.

    Take care,
    Connie

  2. Both pieces are amazing! But I especially like your experimental piece, it's so amazing that some of the photos could be good abstract art prints! You are very gifted, congratulations!

  3. Any of Trish Burr's books is an inspiration! She must be very pleased with your work!
    In your 'beauty from under the sea', you have shown that every stitch on earth will look fantastic 'under water'.

  5. They are lovly! Your experimental piece is really interesting. I used to doodle all the time and this makes me thing of an embroidery doodle... It has inspired me to try out one of my own! It also looks like a fantastic way to try out new stitches, something I've been wanting to do for ages! Thanks for the inspiration!
