BIG DAY

Tom will be sporting this handkerchief on his big day.
Have been enjoying the way everyone seems to spend hours trying to find the perfect way of folding the handkerchiefs.  Designing has become more complex as a result, I think I am now going to spend some time looking at folds.
Going to extract this section of the design to use on a top.  I bought a vintage hungarian top on ebay a few weeks ago. It had a really beautiful use of embroidery around the neck that I would like to play around with using this design.
Discovered a new filling stitch for the triangle that I definitely want to explore some more.

MATING SEASON part I & II





From drawing to print, I really liked the minimal colour palette used in this design.  I think i will reprint the design and play with the colour options a bit more.
