Week 3 of Take a Stitch Tuesday Challenge
About a month ago I had recieved an envelope with several designs to use for motifs. I decided to use the tea pot.
The peacock was emailed to me. The process I used to transfer the motif was simple. I layed "Press and Seal" over the design, then traced it. I placed the Press and Seal over the fabric and stitched. I did need to spend a few minutes removing the Press and Seal, but the results are woth it.
I used the Lazy daisy stitch on the flowers of the tea pot then as a running stitch below.
There two colors of thread used doing the lazy daisy stitch in the feather, a single one for the running stitch.
The feather was created by placing a bead in the center, adding a bullion wrapped about 35 times, then the lazy daisy stitch was added.
