I started by ironing a piece of bondaweb backed Lutradur onto linen scrim...
...stitched in gold metallic and cotton variegated thread..
..again some puckering although I backed with orange dyed linen but I quite like the texturing on this sample!
I then stitched a circle on linen, quite densely, and appliqued this in the centre...
The backing linen looks more red in this photo but it actually matches the Lutradur circle!
I do like the way dense free machining distorts the fabrics.
My next little sample I am not pleased with but I will show you anyway.
I found some silk paper I made ages ago, in one of my textile books, and wove 6 strips and placed between two pieces of organza and stitched in a variegated metallic thread to secure, sealing the organza edges with my trusty soldering iron!
The natural light is so poor at the moment that the flash want off!
I held the sample up against the window...
I might try something like this in leaf shapes next time.......
