I’ve added a new subtitle to my blog; The Casket Chronicles.
I look forward to telling the story of my planning, designing and stitching for my very own Embroidered Casket.
For practice I have found an old flatware chest. The top is about 11″ x 16″. Perfect for practice.
This is my new blank canvas.
And my theme is “Garden Angels”.
I began with a very traditional layout. This is a rough sketch.
That’s as far as I took that idea. It just isn’t me.
So I started drawing angels. I like to embroider angel wings, all those feathers. And who’s to say what an angel looks like?
And I want my angels to have the charm and fantasy of my folk embroidery.
So I am stitching!
Your sketches are gorgeous! Can't wait to watch them develop.
Thanks Starr. I love to draw!
another project for us all to follow and enjoy, looking forward to it.
