no name yet ...

This morning I did the last stitches on my March felt / fabric
( I know it's April )


There were some new things I tried in this one
and I like the way all of that turned out.
You can think things out beforehand
but it's funny how opportunities suddenly appear along the way.

I wanted this piece to be really "Springy"
In our garden there are lots of flowerbulbs blooming every year
so I wanted bulbs in the ground
and then ... above ground
a Daffodil "appeared"

But then I thought: it would be fun if the flower was
three dimensional ...

so that's what happened.

Such magic needs some magic thread !

After all the elfs were there I saw that the Daffodil
was right over one of the bulbs :
it was like they were just waiting to be connected.

magic

The very last thing I did after all the stitching
was putting some beads on.
( and signing it on the back ofcourse )

Now there are three pieces finished
although I don't have a name for the last one yet
( any suggestions ? )



After I saw Jude's post "Willow wakes" today
I made a photo on the balcony :

the Willow right on the other side of the water
is already fully awake and "weeping"

  7. Oh! This made me smile. That beautiful, cheery daffodil, the little elves, those lovely bulbs...I love your March piece.
    I think we all get a lot of inspiration from Sara Lechner....some wonderful textile artists out in blogland to inspire us all. You have made this piece your very own with that lovely 3D daffodil. Just beautiful.
