Embroidery Project #2

Original Drawing from 1997. Charcoal, pen and ink on BFK Rives.










Hand stitched embroidery on custom printed cotton fabric. This new piece is based on a charcoal, pen and ink drawing that was created in 1997 as a undergrad at Michigan State University. Based on microscopic images of the cellular structures of plants.

Cloth Napkins

Got to spend Christmas visiting my sisters in San Francisco. I now understand holiday travel stress. Aside from spending one Christmas in Germany, I have never had to travel a long distance during the holiday season. I am usually a lightweight traveler, a less is more, don't take too much stuff kind of a gal.

Anyway, back to the original reason of this post. I like to give my sisters handmade gifts if possible. The idea of making them cloth napkins came pretty late in the game, but I figured I could probably get them done fairly quickly. I was a little frantic getting the second set done before I left. Nothing like sewing when you should be packing!

Dress


Decided not to mess with stripes, so I will be saving that beautiful fabric for a future project.
I spent some time at Field's Fabrics this morning and found a beautiful smoky blue-gray/cornflower color of Eco-Bamboo fabric. I couldn't decide on the fabric for the midriff so I bought an Amy Butler flower print and some of the same Eco-Bamboo in a taupe/sage color. The white is a cotton that will be used for the lining.
