Inky skies





last week I had been working small on sewn landscape collages, this week I started working on larger pieces


Muted purples and inky skies.

Then working larger using paper cloth and intuitive sewing!


A little cottage nestles in the swirls


I use the paper cloth to help me choose where to take the lines.





And, my 'cast off blanket' is finished, and my leg cast is off too.....

slowly getting back to normality.  ;)

  13. Inky skies is so beautiful with the dark sky and then the glorious colours below. Great use of fabric and stitching, so creative. Lovely second piece too, with the interesting long rectangular shape.
    Crochet blanket looks so cosy and warm with the bright coloured stripes.

  19. The 'picture'/collage is wonderful. I love the embroidery used to distinguish the picture. Is this on a canvas or will it be a wall-hanging or a quilt? I've used my crochet to add to some of my journals. Blessings, Janet, PPF
