Open needle woven picot

The new Tast stitch is very like the last one - only on its base it is open instead of closed. I tried

different ways and variations, from the left:

The first one is quite normal - I used perle thread no. 5 -

then I added a bead - just as it came into my fingers

after that I tried to weave with two threads

and why not put more beads - I wove them in with the middle thread

finally in this photo I wove with 5 threads - and two needles were necessary

 

and please this disorder - I love it as long as they are my tools and threads

 

 

My final little embroidery looks like that - I found the idea for the wings of the insects in the very much admired stitching of feyfae at flickr.
Please have a look at this bushfire of feyfae - it is artistic.

I can't change anything afterwards.

Not me, although DH thinks that I am gifted for modern technology.)

 

 

Pekinese and Double LInked Chain stitches

Coming back to my blog after some time - well I was stitching - but time did not allow me to blog. Internet connection and summerhouse does not go together well.

 

So here it is - the Pekinese stitch for Tast2012 week 33 - I imagined a pond with water lilies.

 

 

I will take it again - I did not realize that part of the photo is missing

 

 

And here is my sample for the Linked Double Chain stitch (Tast2012 week 34)

The beginning of each line looks like little forks - I liked this idea.

and all together like the Mikado play of sticks which we played as children.

 

 

 

I used a space-died thread which I bought at an exhibition
