I took artistic 'freedom' with the original photo and decided I wanted to add a wooden fence. Good idea but I forgot to remember (hah) that stitching all those little wooden boards takes a LONG time (almost two days to be exact!). I did a little bit of trapunto (and paint) to create the clouds. And...you will notice there's another 'Him and Me' been added. Next up on my dance card is to add some embroidery - just because I can.
- I know I sent you to a tutorial for these before, but THESE are a bit different and so pretty! They'd make lovely gifts I think.
- Have a scroll through the creations of THIS artist!
- My goodness - I thought sometimes I put a lot of stitches into my landscapes, but seeing THESE made me realize my efforts are paltry in comparison!
- THIS is a rather unusual design - and good for using up scraps.
Today's quote is from C.S. Lewis..."Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less"
oh good, my people are back!!! i was missing those two...
ReplyDeleteMe too! I think I just may have created a monster with them. I'm currently toying with something Christmas-y but can't decide what direction to go.
DeleteThese "peopled" pieces create such a nice feeling every time :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying playing with "Him and Me'' so perhaps there might be a couple more happen at some time.
DeleteI can imagine the story that "him and me" are telling as they look at the house.
ReplyDeleteThe working title (at least for now) is 'Him and Me - His Grandpa's Homestead'.
