This type of embroidery is alot easier than following a pattern such as in cross stitch as anything goes. There are no real rules apart from what you think looks good and it is a matter of just adding more embroidery to different parts as you go to build up the design.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766326552025023883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280964377513517695.post-27583803603917040792009-06-02T22:57:52.433+10:002009-06-02T22:57:52.433+10:00Wow, this is really beautiful.
I have cross stitch...Wow, this is really beautiful.<br />I have cross stitched and did complete the top of a quilt once, but nothing like this. This looks complicated. It would look great on canvas - it is such a work of art!!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15425904812918507490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280964377513517695.post-60209259300350681122009-05-27T18:55:24.047+10:002009-05-27T18:55:24.047+10:00Thanks Jan.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with. The book that you said you have is a great book isn't it. I like how they have used lots of photos and lots of ideas for designs.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766326552025023883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280964377513517695.post-73302140574836273492009-05-26T23:05:06.637+10:002009-05-26T23:05:06.637+10:00I keep getting tempted to try some shisha embroide...I keep getting tempted to try some shisha embroidery. Just last night before I went to bed I copied instructions from a book I have on loan from the library. I also have the first book you listed, I have mirrors and good god, enough thread to stitch the Bayeux Tapestry! You've inspired me to go for it. I'm just a little concerned if wool as a background will be too stretchy to hold the mirrors.Art4Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710450819770822126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280964377513517695.post-20591011282587716772009-05-25T22:03:38.832+10:002009-05-25T22:03:38.832+10:00This looks beautiful Barbara!
