I have shown you, over a year ago, when I embroidered this lovely
design and also explained how to tint your design with crayons.
You can find the post here at this link
What I did not reveal, was that I placed this design
with two others
onto the back of this white blouse. I love to embroider shirts and blouses,
and I was making this for me to wear around in my gardens and
on walks..........
but in middle of embroidering this design..........I thought to myself........
"why did I place this on a blouse.......when it really would have been better
on plain fabric meant for framing and hanging??"
" will I wear this in public places??........no probably not......
people will see me as a kooky old woman wearing this" ..........and more thoughts like this
ran through my mind as I finished this design.
However, I finished the embroidery and the bright salmon and orange/yellow
along side the soft blues.....caused me to really like this piece.
I am still uncertain about the blouse.......
If I continue with the blouse, I will embroider the remaining mason jar
and add other designs along the front and upper body of the
blouse. Of course.........I could cut the strip of mason jars and
frame them. It is at times like this..........that I put this piece away..........
and later come back to it.............
which is the reason I have such a large work basket of unfinished
projects.
Also.........I am thinking upon offering my embroidery services , which means I would accept custom orders.......which I am still not sure I will be happy doing........
I have much to think about on this matter before I go forward...........
How about you? Have you found yourself excited in starting and creating
a new project.............to get into the middle of it and think
"what was I thinking??"
I would love to hear!
