I thought we might have a rest from freebies for a week or so, so I could post some recent things that I’ve been doing. Most of my designs are based on original ideas that I get from watching natural things, like trees and flowers and birds, but sometimes I become fascinated with art that comes from from other people and past cultures. Recently I’ve become intrigued by old ceramic designs from ancient Persian pots, some of which date back to thousands of years before Christ, and I’ve been interpreting these ancient works of art in the very different medium of modern embroidery
So – here is a glazed design from an old Persian pot
And here is an embroidered interpretation
I’ve done a lot of these old interpretations, but to be honest this new blog is giving me major problems when I try to post things, so I will have to leave this interesting subject for another time. But I’ll be back shortly with another freebie (I hope!)
This is such a lovely interpretation of the vase design. I think I prefer yours to the original! The lines and movement are perfect as is your color scheme.
