adding stitch work for detail
Here's a before and after of an eco-printed antique napkin I added a simple backstitch to. I have a lot of prints like these and wondering if the stitching works (?) or if the prints are better off untouched. Nonetheless it's been fun to experiment, and try my hand at some new things.

Seed stitching
I've been practicing the seed stitch Melissa taught me in her workshop last month. And also taking her advice on choosing thread color that I can actually see (rather than match) what's on my print. The first is an eco-print of an onion skin on paper & I stitched over a wild grass that came out blurry in the print. Any feedback? I don't like that triangle shape at the top, would like to to get it more wavy like grass. The next print with the red flowers is what I plan to do next, maybe in the same green. Or maybe not.

I pressed a leaf I collected on a walk some time ago. I scanned it on the weekend. And then made this fabric pattern with it. I wanted to see what it would look like on a pocket square.

trying some new things....
Hey there! Thought I'd share a couple things I've been working on. The first is an eco-print of eucalyptus on a wool patch I wove on a small loom. I used too much iron is why it's so dark, but I'm excited to keep experimenting with this process. The second pic is a cyanotype of wisteria on linen. Any ideas on what kind of stitch work I should try on this? I would like to start embellishing, as it did not come out like I'd hoped. Thanks for sharing any ideas with me.
