Heather and Sheep

I'm finally doing some work! Everybody cheer!

I had an idea a few days ago of a miniature piece I wanted to create in heather colours, with green hills and purple sky, but as ever with me I found some reason to cast a negative eye on it, and was 100% certain that it would look silly. But then I reasoned that it would be little enough to not worry about if it didn't work, so I gave it a go...and I'm pleasantly surprised!


And how cute are the little sheepies? I love French knots and the effects that can be created using them, especially when you build them up to create depth and texture, which is what I'm doing round the edges in more greens and purples to make a pretty heather design.

I did take a photo of it with the beginnings of the embroidery, but it came out blurry, so until I get chance to photograph it properly, enjoy this tiny sheep.


Cutie!


Have a great day, folks!
