Carol had followed the instructions on Stitch Club, given by Bethany Duffy, to create this lovely stump work piece .It required a shell with a hole, some padding and shaded threads.It uses Long and short stitch finished with lots of French Knots.It really evokes the gush of the surf .
For her other contribution she brought a work in progress begun on a workshop given by Sheila Davis of Celyn Textiles.The theme was 3-Dimensional stitching which utilises all sorts of bits and pieces to help raise the stitches from the surfaced give them structure .Carol had used plastic tubing ,washers and large wood beads.
The fabric was first painted and the aim is to completely cover the surface with stitches before using the finished piece as maybe the lid of a box.
We will await the next instalment.
