I'm currently obsessed by LARGE embroidery designs – and I don't just mean things embroidered in large hoops. I love big, complicated composite designs – the kind you get by stitching lots of little designs together – as you can see by all the bellpull and panel designs I've posted through the years. Well, I'm currently going through yet another panel-and-bellpull phase
And I'm combining this passion with another enthusiasm of mine – that of folk art. I love the extravagant images and over-the-top colour combinations you see in folk art pictures from all sorts of cultures
So this means, of course, that I'm now working on a big folk art panel. I've only just started it so there isn't much yet to see, but I can post some of the little designs that will go together. For example, here's a cheerful little rooster done in a quite improbable folk art style.
The first of many, I hope
In case you were wondering, the square of stitching around the rooster is just there so I can align him properly with the designs that will come next to him. Now all I need to do is finish the other 15 or so designs and I can start putting them together
I know it is going to be unique!
He looks great! I can’t wait to see all the panels around him. You keep stitching what fascinates you.
🙂
I like your rooster and his pretty colors. 15 designs or so? You aren’t kidding, it will be big.
Thanks for sharing. You inspire me.
I love your rooster, especially the tail feathers. Can’t wait to see your other designs, then the completed set.
So bright and happy! Love the tail feathers.
Coq bien sympathique
J’attends la suite avec impatience
Keep on stitching and showning what you are doing the rooster is wonderful
