Fisher of Men Stole

Photo after photo the colors don't come out the way they appear in person, so I gave up trying to adjust the colors - that is being thrown off by the beading - and manipulated it to show the design and contrast.

I kind of love it!


Here is the original pic.

Detail from Fisher of Men Stole

Here is a bit of a preview.... Coral in French knots.


The rest involves more coral and a batik fish, but the color is muddy due to beading that I added, it's showing up a bit odd on film, but looks pretty in person. I have to work on that!

Stole for Lent

Here is the completed stole I wrote about in my July 4th post. The bottom of the stole was finished with an embroidered lattice pattern bordered by French knots.

Three by Three by Three

I have had the absolute best time working on this little gem. It is a wedding gift for a wonderful couple. I offered up my services to the bride to see she might want something personalized... Maybe a monogrammed ribbon for her bouquet or a sachet? She came back with a neat request of a ring holder that the best man would keep the bride's ring safe and secure before the big handoff.

She provided me with a photo from a bride's magazine that showed a satin pouch closed by Velcro - (about 2.75 x 4 inches I believe) which looked like this:



I thought I would create a design that showed off the "W" which the bride will be taking as her new name, as well as the wedding date which is fun, being 9.10.11.

The couple met through a wonderful mutual friend playing matchmaker, and they share important loving values. Their church has been a central part of their relationship and that is why I chose the trinity for the inside of the booklet (always my favorite symbol of marriage ~ the two partners and Christ).




 

The finished size is 3x3 inches.

Workbasket!!!

Here is the latest in my workbasket. Yellow dupioni silk on a rich, eggplant color cotton. The french knots are done in floss. Simple but pretty...
