I don't do "Nature" or "pretty"

However...........

My current piece is both.

Machine embroidery, die cut flowerstems, hand embroidery and paint

The base of this piece is a rectangular stretched canvas with applied paper and paint.

I added on top a very fancy "Sunday handkerchief" - the type that traditionally was only used for decoration when going to Church.

I added die cut fabric stems and then applied some fabric flowers which had been previously embroidered on a slip background.

On top of that I then added my machine embroidered foliage strip ( see previous post).

I will now be hand embroidering on top of these layers

Done
