I'm in a quandary. I'm working on several large projects at the moment, but none of them are really at the stage where I can post them. So I've searched back in the files for something to put up, and found these designs which I did for Cherri a while ago. She wanted things that she could stitch on to bags which she was making as Christmas presents for her friends. and I've already posted some of the others
The 1950s back again…
In style they're sort of in-between folk art and the kind of simplified designs that were popular in the 1950's. Actually I quite like that style – maybe it's time for a 1950's revival!
And on a personal note, these designs are particularly appropriate for me just now, because our garden has been invaded by our neighbour's peacocks, who are gobbling all the food we put out for the wild birds, and pecking off the new green leaves of our garden plants. Whoever said that life in the Scottish Highlands couldn't be exotic never lived here!
Yes it is time for a revival. That is so different who would have thought peacocks in the Scottish Highlands wonderful!
Hi Mia, I love the different stitch patterns that you chose to use on your peacocks. I especially like your creative artistry in digitizing the tail feathers on the single peacock. Have a great weekend.
I love these peacocks!
So pretty!! 😍
Love these 1950’s throwbacks. The second one is rather regal indeed.
