Today is a test peice of a mushroom stem


A wonderful friend sent me a piece of net as I couldn’t find some I had already and I tried it over the embroidery on a mushroom stem and it gives it a slubby honeycomb look, that I couldn’t do in embroidery, despite several tries. Its easy to do too, just cut to size and couch down
I thought I have to cover edges to fit it in but it blends in easily. I can colour this white easily too, done it before for lace work.

Today is 3rd side of 1st pincushion.

This is a single mushroom and not one I’ve done before. Don’t think I got it right though, when I do it next time I’m gonna make whole top one piece as this bit in side don’t look quite right.

Today is Second side of First 2” square Pincushion.

Not really happy how my embroidered felt leaf came out but I’ll persist in them as they do make a nice item to put on the bottom of a mushroom.
