Embellisher background #1


The colours in this one remind me of the Red Centre of Australia.


Onto tissue paper, I sketched the outline of an aboriginal carving that I have from a trip to Ayers Rock.


I had made the drawing too long so I pinned it to make it shorter.


Here it is taking shape.

The residual bits of tissue can be removed easily with some sticky tape.

Once the tissue has been removed I can get stuck into the stitching.


More stitching and a outline.


Some spirals finish it off.
