One thing I have learnt is that this really does take a long time to do! Making up heaps of tiny little things, weaving in ends, stitching them together. Then you gathering them all up and there seems to be only a fraction of what you imagined there would be (for the time spent!). But I do think it is worth it, and I am still going to do one more project like this.
No.... you are killing me with this gorgeousness! It doesn't help that I've become addicted to crochet, but now I have to see what gorgeous things can be done with it?
ReplyDeleteAny chance of a pattern or pattern inspiration for the beige barnacle shapes in the third picture?
ReplyDeleteThe beige one is just bullion stitches. There are plenty of videos and instructions on the web on how to do a bullion stitch (crochet, not embroidery, but of course you knew that!). I have used a varying number of wraps, and varying number of stitches per circle. They are not easy for a beginner, but it is a lovely stitch to master. If you find good instructions, you will be able to work it out after a few goes! Good hooking!
DeleteBeautiful work! How did you get them to stay on the rings?
ReplyDeleteLauren, to answer your question - the magic of hot glue! Yes I know, very technical...
ReplyDeleteI should add, there is a plywood insert inside the embroidery hoop too - it is glued in place, and sealed.
