Embroidered Flowers

Here is another of my 3 embroidered flowers and painted frames. These 3 go together on my wall. 

Embroidered Flower

Here is another of my creations I embroidered a few years ago. There is a set of 3. The last one to come next time. I love making my own designs and creations up.

Embroidered Topiary

Here is another embroidered Topiary tree that I made some years ago. Once again I did not follow any pattern but made it up myself. I have used French Knots and ribbon roses for the ball part of the tree. The stem is twisted ribbon with French Knots to hold it down. The same with the bows. However, the bows are silk ribbons. The pot is made of clay.
The frame I have painted myself and also used crackle paint to give it an aged look.
I have also padded the background.

The flowers are Suffolk Puffs except the blue one in the middle. It is just ribbon gathered. All have beads sewn into the centres.

The stem is fabric and the swigs have been embroidered in stem stitch and lazy daisy stitch. I used Jewel embroidery thread that is thicker and pearly. The pot is embroidered with blanket stitch.
I even painted and varnished my frame to match in with the design. I have rubbed gold on top of the pink Matisse paint. You can buy the paint from Cropworks.
I love to embroider and make up things. I didn't follow a pattern for this but made it up as I went.

The fabric flowers are Suffolk Puffs (some people call them YoYos)
