I have had a “thing” for butterflies for a while. More recently it has turned to dandelions.
I am so consumed by these two things that I have had a tattoo designed that includes both images. It is just sitting waiting for the right time to get it done, but that is another story.
I have been wanting to do an emroidery picture since I saw Hillary (from wee wonderfuls) display her stitchettes in simple hoops.
Scouring the net I have found some great dandelion inspiration.
WooHoo cross stictch sell this pattern on etsy.
Hare and Drum have these beautiful completed pieces of wall art too.
Wrapables has a whole range of dandelion products like linens, bags and pillows.
And these dandelion wall decals are just awesome.
Anyway, this is how my picture turned out.
It is hanging on the side of our bookcase as you walk into our room.
Wow! I love it! Go you!
What fabric did you use? It looks like a linen? I love that you used such a dark colour. Looks wonderful.
That’s amazing! You did a fantastic job with the dandelions! That is a lot of french knots!
I love it! You have reminded me that I have some work to do…(and you have inspired me to do it!)
I too love dandelions – much maligned but oh so pretty and tasty too! Great piccies, but Donna, I love yours best of all!!
On the dandelions front have you seen the Liberty fabric featuring it? Beautiful!
Lovely embroidery
