Sample Project 2013 - March

One sample per week inspired (loosely) by the photo in my John Muir Trust Wild Nature Diary. Just playing!

Week 13: Wild daffodils

Contrasting record warmth of March 2012 with record cold of March 2013!My own photo of wild daffodils in Farndale on 27/3/12 transferred onto cotton fabric, then machine stitched with white lines to represent the snow of 27/3/13.

 

 

So that’s a quarter of the year done!

If anyone’s noticed this blog is even quieter than it used to be, that’s because I’m spending more time on FaceBook at the moment. Come over and say hi!

These are just delicious, as are the pieces on the last post (or 2!) I ADORE the frog spawn! I've never seen the Old Man floating in stitch before, lovely ;)
