Ok, so more detail was added...Part 7 of the LEGS!
Can I share how exciting to colour with FLOSS?
This is what had both Cori and I chatted for months about PAPER LADIES... These Legs that we will be doing in TEA for TWO
Details here..you can still get this pattern? and join us in this hop in April.
If you join us the pattern is only $5.00 if you don't it is $10.00
Once I saw Cori's gorgeous zippered bag .....I wanted to do those LEGs! This is embroidery...look at the impact a simple stitch can do to bring this to life....
Now I come in and think "I want to color them"
And that is exactly what I have done..
Reallllllly , the only thing that stops you is what color of floss you will colour them... I have used so far under 10 colors.... ( will share all the colors when I am completely done ok)
Very little shading in the stockings...so you can see the leg formation... I was going to do the stockings on your right....but GREY seemed a better choice I am so happy with them....NOW my tweezers were used a bit as I would change my mind and I changed the shade...but even that was meant with excitement...
NECESSARY tool ladies....
I thought I would have it done on the weekend but with Oscars and everything... I got a tad behind...
I kept looking at it and for the project I will be making this into it needed something else...
So I added a stamp border...again, all I did was trace it and now I am stitching in a simple backstitch ...
Oh the lips...that will be my signature from this day forward on all of my cross stitch....Living in France for many years, we are all such kissy people....:)
These Paper Ladies have such a FRENCH Vintage influence it seemed like a great choice...complete with mole....
If you think you cannot do HAND work anymore cause you cannot see... WEll that is RUBBISH...you need some READERS, these are magnifying glasses and they are light and they are magical...I stitch again because I can see them...
Check them out here.. They are so affordable too!
