Blogtoberfest 11


Um, it's a pear.  Again.

A rather bad example of attempting to create modern blackwork in a hurry when you haven't done blackwork for 30 years.  Green embroidery thread on even-count linen.  My least favorite pear.  But I love blackwork and really want to have a go at designing some PROPERLY at some stage.

I guess I can see why it might be your least favourite - but there's definitely something there - I think it's the shading/shaping on the pear. Very (sorry, 'peary') nice.

I have seen quite some pears now made by you and I like this one! It looks so graphical, like you made it as an etching.

Well.. that is just me thinking the black and white go well together...

Have a nice day! Ciao, Fleur (Fleurtje-Eliza on Ravelry)
