Here's a little bit of the current landscape I'm working on. The daisies are made using rattail cording for the inner part of the petals surrounded by lazy daisy stitches done with floss. I've discovered that trying to stitch with rattail cord is definitely not easy on the hands!
- THIS is a great tutorial to make a simple little pouch bag.
- THIS little fellow is rather awwww-worthy.

I like the daisies a lot. Yes, rattail is designed to be sturdy. And resistant.
ReplyDeleteMy stash let me down when it came to having something to stitch the daisies and rattail was all I seemed to have in the right colour. It was worth using it, but not easy on my hands.
DeleteI really love this.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda! It's one of my favourites I think.
Deletehope your hands have recovered cuz those daisies are pretty doggone awesome
ReplyDeleteSore hands are a small price to pay!
DeleteI can see that cording would be hard on your hands!! Hard to stitch through i would think...Your daisies are looking really pretty...

DeleteThe cardboard art is terrific.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was so creative - and a cheap art supply for sure.
DeleteI really like those daisies, Mary Anne. I don't know what rattail cording is, but it sounds like it would be some effort to work with. Going to go look it up...
ReplyDeleteI don't think rattail cord is meant for stitching with but I managed. I think it's mainly used for jewelry making, although there are probably other uses.
