Hand embroidered wedding bouquet.

I am thoroughly enjoying my embroidery and am creating some lovely designs. I have added to my shop customised embroidered wedding bouquets. They would make lovely gifts to remember a very special day. I have created an embroidery as an example from my friends sons wedding. The flowers were beautiful and have made a very pretty design. I have used a combination of DMC and Anchor thread on silk fabric chosen to compliment the flowers. Great fun to stitch.

New embroidery design and painting wedding bouquets

Happy New Year. It is a while since I posted but I have been very busy with Christmas and new year celebrations. All great fun. I haven't gone back to work yet, my courses start next week. I hope to change the direction of my Etsy shop BrushesAndBodkins and concentrate on hand embroidery including ribbon embroidery. I want to create my own embroidery designs that can then be customised with a message or embroidery of a favourite place or home. The card I created for my friend for her church gave me the idea for a set of embroideries based around the seasons. A customer can then have their own message or church, view or home embroidered in place of the church. I plan to create three further designs for spring, summer

and autumn.
             I have also added to my Art by CarolAnnHopper Etsy shop the facility to have your wedding bouquet  painted or your favourite flower(s) painted in watercolour. I hope to extend this to include painting wedding cakes and venues in watercolour. I have so far painted two wedding bouquets. These are really enjoyable to do.
