If you've been following the recent posts in the blog, you probably know that I've tried my hand at embroidering a botanical print of a wild herb called Bur Marigold. The piece is finished now and rejoices me with its vibrant sunny colors!
I sincerely think that I didn't make a mistake when I chose to add ribbons as petals for this herb! They added a nice dimension and texture variety and made the flower pop up from the fabric. Ribbons can really do the trick at times.
Since the very start, I was planning to frame this piece. Thankfully I found a fitting frame from the bunch of the ones I bought at a dollar store. It was my first experience at painting it. Sloppy, I know. But I still like it. It gives a bit of festive vibes and emphasizes the cheerful mood of the embroidered piece. I so need it right now when the weather is often dull!
One conclusion I was able to draw: next time I probably won't go after pure white color, but maybe ecru instead.
All the stitches that I used were already covered in the older posts, so be sure to check them out.
This was a wonderful experience and I really hope Bur Marigold will not be lonely for long - I'm going to search for new botanical prints to keep her company!
