French Knot and Wheatear Stitch

'French knot Starfish'

 French knot Starfish. Attempt at drawing perspective. TAST week 15.

'Jar by Ruth'

Jar made for me by Ruth. Now full of beads.

Fern

Stitch 16: Wheatear stitch 'Fern'. Flower threads. Got comments for the violin heads. Finally making myself learn to use a hoop. First pic on my sampler piece using a lovely bit of linen given me by Bev my sister. Felt brave to do something on a big piece of material :-)

'Sea Picture'

Attempt at a sampler picture. Weed made with ribbon ruched, couched down cord, and bugle beads left overs of Ruth's. Such fun using this twinkly treasure.

'Shoal of Minnows'

Detatched Stitch 16: Wheatear stitch 'Shoal of Minnows'. Bugle beads present from Ruth. Made the mistake of using shiny thread - had to do mortal combat with it to get it to lie down. Got a mention on the Pintangle TAST 5 featured pieces !
