I finished a piece of embroidery for my Mum last week. It's still very early days for me in terms of my embroidery "career". I have much to learn and many ideas for how I can expand and improve on what I know. I love it so far.
Here is a very last minute shot of the finished piece.
Please excuse the light reflection. It's turned out looking very celtic.
A few weeks I visited the Whangerei library to discover they had a great art and craft section. Here is some of the embroidery and design that has and will continue to inspire me. Most of it is Islamic or middle eastern, some is indian.
wow, great job kate, a good start to your new career.
my fingers are tired just looking at that indian embroidery.
