TAST - Crested Chain
Finally got last weeks stitch done. I was going to use the Crested Chain as the spines on a dinosaur costume for a chicken but couldn't find/design a decent image to work with. Then I saw these guys and thought - Punk hair do's. But that looked awful. So with time running out I unpicked their hair and made a flag banner using one of my daughters variegated threads. While I'm not usually a fan of variegated threads in this instance it provides a party/festive feel, so it was just right!
I used felt for their sunglasses, if you were wondering. I was going to use satin stitch but the frames were just a bit wide and I wasn't convinced I could do it neatly enough, esp with the hassles I'd had to date with this design. 😎
This weeks TAST
Is Portuguese Stem stitch. The tutorial on Pintangle is here. And I borrowed Sharons' photo below. No idea what I'm going to do with it yet.
Until next time...
