Lately, I´ve been developing a certain fondness
for things colourful and shiny - favourably in
connection with stitch...
Might be the cold grey season coming, or me being
a capricorn, who are prone to (at least that´s what
I´ve been reading once, in a horoscope book) to drop
some of their natural austerity when life´s autumn
approaches for a weak spot for bling-bling...
However, that´s why I bought some sari scraps...
Look at that tough little bead, hanging on, as the
last of it´s kind, on a vast expanse - for a bead - of
border...

all beautiful but especially that peacock. my mom and dad always had a huge framed, embroidered, peacock over their bed that someone had given them as a wedding gift. a peacock always brings back that memory.
OOOO, you are a very lucky girl to have found these beauties!!!!
these are good quality sari scraps, and i'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with them. k.
They're gorgeous! Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog. I always love to see new faces there!
:)
beautiful, love the colours cant wait to see what you do with them!
Those would make me happy too....
they're so much fun to work with. i ordered some last year and have thrown them in the mix. yours are beautiful.
Yes, I enjoy them - not sure yet whether I´ll have the heart to cut them further... - + I like your story, Deanna, can almost imagine that peacock, hanging above a headbord somewhere halfway around the globe, while looking at mine, which came all the way from India...
ger,
I was looking through old pics yesterday and actually found a picture of that embroidered peacock. My mom and dad are gone and I can't remember what happened to that framed piece.
It lives in your memory (+ in mine now, too, for a beat of the wings...)
What beautiful Sari "scraps".
The beading and stitching on that peacock is so fine. Lucky you!
Fun eye cloth. Sometimes I find I have to walk away from a project for a while then come back with a "new
prospective". :)
Yes, Marie - looking ahead while looking back...;)
