Its me again and my lifelong search for my inner artist lurched forward a notch yesterday as I took the Starry night to the Hop with me.
£ hours of enforced sitting in a chair (with a drip attached to my arm) and I decided instead of reading the paper I would attempt to get a handle on the nad stitching.
Now THIS is what it is meant to look like
apparently this took the very talented Clare Passmore 3 solid months!! and this was mine before the visit to the Hop.
But I spent a very enjoyable time stitching away and now it looks like this in one corner ....
Yup Pathetic right??!!
I kid you not that took HOURS!
So Im back, begging you to help me out here...
HOW do you split the embroidery thread stuff without it getting tangled and knotted up ???
HOW do you start and finish the threads ??? (you DO NOT want to see the back of this!)
ANY other help, gratefully received PLEASE???
I did enjoy myself though, and it was completely absorbing ... I was just quite shocked when I came to take the pic by how little I had achieved!!!!
No pics??? Linky to album
