Last week I started making these felted pebbles following a wonderful tutorial I fund on Lisa Jordan's blog. She makes the most beautiful embroidered felted pebbles and I wanted to give it a try. She explains the whole process step-by-step with great photos. After the felting is done and the pebbles are completely dry you do the embroidery.
I think I've never mentioned that my creative journey in arts and crafts started with embroidery.
I hadn't done it for a long time and a couple of weeks ago I had this urge to stitch again. So for my 10 day vacation I took what I needed and this pebbles are the result.
I almost forgot! I worked on this mandala too.
The stones turned out beautifully. Thank you for sharing my link.
ReplyDeleteThe mandala is breathtaking! You have a wonderful sense of color.
Thank YOU Lisa!!!!! You have no idea how much I appreciate your comment, I feel really flattered since I admire you very much. Color is my favorite thing in making arts and crafts, it is probably my main motivation.
DeleteWhat synchronicity here! I also make mandalas and have had the urge to try some with embroidery recently! Your is beautiful! Do you have a plan as to what you will do with it? I hope I get around to trying this soon!
ReplyDeleteAmazing Robin :)! My original plan was to make bag with an embroidered mandala. It stayed like the first photo for a looooong time until now. I'm not sure about the bag anymore...no idea what I will do with it when it stops growing ;)
DeleteI love this side of your creativity, Maria. The colours you've chosen are beautiful and joyful.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Kathleen. I'm enjoying it so much, I'm really pleased I'm doing it again.
DeleteBeautiful Beautiful! Can you tell me what type of thread you are using for embroidery?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I used DMC stranded cotton except for the white pebble which is embroidered with DMC cotton Perle.
