Here are some of the most recent ( and finished) handwork projects I've done. I think I'll call them the
farm & forest buttons. My interest in these started when I couldn't for the life of me embroider a chicken head, not super happy with this one either really, and I thought these buttons would be good practice. I looked in vintage story books nabbed from my mom's place (
sorry mom ) wanting the portraits to look like old illustrations. I really love the way the sheep turned out and the bear. I have a goose, wolf, fox & a mouse in the works. Now what should these go on? esty or hoard?
some embroidery books I used for this project:
Kyuuto : Japanese Crafts! Wooly Embroidery
&
The complete book of embroidery stitches

GREAT BUTTONS!!! Very impressed with your embroidery talents, the sheep and bear are especially fetching. They are all so cool. Can't wait to see the rest! I think they would look really nice on a woollen shawl sort of thing, with a hood... sort of little red riding hood style, with one button under the child's chin.
