Hello everyone
I am pleased to announce the arrival of 3 new designs of people and portraits. Two miniatures and one Vintage Lady as shown below – these kits are available from my ETSY SHOP. I have used a fine polyester thread for outlining and minute details such as facial features on the miniature designs. I will be talking more about these threads later on in the week in part 3 of our series on Miniature Embroidery. Small quantities of outline thread packs are also available in the SHOP and I hope to have more in stock next week.
The first miniature is Saucer Of Milk For Kitty. This sweet design is adapted from a vintage print by artist Jessie Wilcox Smith formerly on the cover of Good Housekeeping magazine, Hearst Corporation 1920. There is some discussion as to whether he is a boy or a girl, I think he is a boy and therefore changed the original colours of red into soft blues, but no reason why it could not be for a little girl (or big girl) either – my daughter loves it and has commandeered it for her bedroom.
Wherever you are in the world be it winter, spring, summer or autumn hope you have had a great weekend and ready to start the new week with a bang! Trish
