In reviewing my posts, I see that I have showed the "inspiration" for my color piece (it's the last photo on that post), but not the piece itself. We can take care of that right now. This is what it looks like as of last night. There are still two discreet areas to stitch - and they will both be full of beads and dimensional stitching. They are both below the light turquoise area I am working on now. One will be a darker turquoise and the other that rust red you can see a few stitches in. It will be pretty bottom heavy, so I expect to add some more to balance it out. Or maybe not. We will see when I get to that point.
I think I'm settling into a routine of doing a little embroidery in the evenings. I can stitch while listening to the television. I have a special pair of glasses for doing close work like this. With them and a craft light I can see quite well for stitching. BUT, all I can see on the television is large color shapes! Well, if the dialog is amusing that's enough. I am having fun in my own little fuzzy world!

I like the way this is developing - what are the blue stitches at the top?
Paula, thanks for your comment. The blue stitches at the top are another version of the form on the bottom. The inspiration piece had these three flowers - blue, red, and yellow - repeated multiple times. I wanted to see how the different stitch types would work to move a shape forward or backward. I like the way is going so far.
Liz, I love your piece. it's coming along beautifully. The density of the blue stitch work is simply great.
Hi Liz, I love your choice of colours for this - especially the blue with the beading.
What a wonderful thing to do in the evenings. I can picture you embroidering "by the fire" so to speak. As always,Liz, your work is flawless and full of inspiration.
I like it very much and I am really interested to see the finished piece.
Beautiful creation. Well done.
