Here's another project I started awhile back. Then other things took priority, and I put it in the drawer for some time...Now it's back out and I'm hoping to finish it up finally!
The silk organza is dyed and layered over fabrics like vintage silk kimono fabric and linen and cotton. I dyed it and rusted it, and now I'm stitching it quite a bit...
Anyway, this photo here shows the front.

And here's what the back of it looks like so far!
Sometimes I think I should do some work that only shows all the crazy stitching against that white linen backing I use. It just looks so wonderfully obsessive to me...
I usually tie three knots to each end...three seems like a good number. (hey at least I'm not checking the stove over and over, right?) Then, once all my stitching is done, I'll iron some stabilizer onto the back to secure the knots and threads even more.
