Blackwork sampler work-in-progress, before adding gold & silver embellishment. For 'Stitch and Surface' class.
This is the piece I sent to Meagan Ileana for the Phat Quarter swap. I wasn't sure what to do with the anatomy theme, so I surfed the web for inspiration. I found this at pornokrates in which a man refers to his package as a "ruthless organ." Couldn't ask for much more inspiration than that.
A detail of the shaded blackwork sampler. Each column uses the same method, the first row horizontally, the second diagonally.

Swap piece for kaati13 has made it (rather quickly) from the UK to Massachusetts. Blackwork with lyrics from Ian Dury's Sex and Drugs and Rock&Roll. The man was a legend. So happy that Kristin likes it and I can finally show it off!
4th in the series
Each of the bigger stars is filled with different blackwork design. It took me 2,5 weeks to plan and design, two + two evenings to make. It is still tiny with the added star border, but now it looks more balanced than before.
The color is dark green DMC 319
#2 in my ongoing series combining hardanger / blackwork / embroidery.
I can't decide which one I prefer, this one or the previous garden gate... the next few coming up are going to be a castle tower window or a dungeon grate, I haven't quite decided....
(As before, this is my original pattern - please don't steal it, lovely Flickr friends. I do bite.)

Trying to improve my lighting situation a bit but inadvertently created a shadow -- oops. Still brighter than the last few photos of this one!

I've never seen the two techniques combined before, and it seemed like a good thing to try....and finally, now the uni year's over, I can get back to sewing just for the fun of it!
Each of the squares have a 'darker square in the middle'. It's a cross between wrought-iron gates and black lace....oh, so Gothic! :D
