This one proved a lot more difficult than I first thought the background was very layered up which just looked to harsh when stitched so in the end I’ve left it a lot plainer and more like the old wotsit packaging from a few years ago

Clare really liked it and I hope her friend does too!

I usually use reverse applique and applique techniques to do my work but I’m trying to do more stitching elements, so with this piece I’ve stitched all of it bar the background blue colour and I I really like how it’s turned out! It obviously takes more time but I really enjoyed doing it this way for a change.

Daim bars always remind me of Ikea and it would seem no other shop sells them this was a difficult one to find to have a look at!

Really quick one today done before I even go to my Pilate’s class

i felt the need to turn my chocolate consumption into a soft sculpture because it marks the start of no pizza,chocolate,biscuits or cake until August the 3rd. Instead i will stitch the foods i like (totally the same)
