Once Upon A Time

Once Upon A Time
14" x13"
A new embroidery on painted cotton twill.

Bottom Layer

 

This is the bottom layer of a three layer embroidery, still under construction!

The fabric is a vintage handkerchief linen napkin.

The embroidery is done in blue Coton A Broder.

What Is it?

I think this embroidery is finished.
I can't say I won't add anything to it, but for now, I am done.
Does it look like something to you?
What should the title be?
Some have seen a fantastic animal; some a garden; some a house.
Oh and the background is not grey! It is off-white.
I don't know what is up with that.

Some paper stitching I am working on for Karen's class, Alchemy. I have done the free-motion machine work on the paper which is attached to a piece of silk. Small bits of a mono print are inserted into holes in the paper. A few bullion knots are done at the top right and some French knots started around the appliqued shape. Lots more to come......
