Do you see the fence in the foreground? Firstly, I stitched the wire part with the machine using a grey thread but it wasn't the colour or the texture I wanted....so.....a peruse of my embroidery flosses yielded one that rather looked (at least to me!) that it might represent a rusty fence. One strand of floss - and I undertook to whip. Every. Single. Machine. Stitch. On. That. blankety blank. Fence. Over 5 hours later and I'm about half done.
Am I crazy?
Am I obsessed?
(don't answer that)
But is it worth it?
Oh yeah!
(and what's worse - trying to actually SEE
those little stitches while my eyes are percolating
cataracts - just another level of idiocy!)
