Right – back to the new series of Celtic animals. Here’s a
double dog motif and a cat, although the cat is really part Pictish and part Celtic
in style.
The double dog, with details in metallic thread
The Celtic-Pictish cat
The cat is done with a Fairy Frost black and silver fabric applique,
and embroidered with black and grey threads. It’s a very subtle effect – maybe too
subtle, as the details aren’t very clear. Next time I’ll try a little less
black and a little more silver
Love the cat! I like the black Fairy Frost too. What do you think it would look like if you did the ‘tail’ part in silver, but the ‘tongue’ part in gold? Or would that ruin the Celtic look?
Fairy Frost black and silver fabric applique, and embroidered with black and grey threads looks really very nice ……
