This one had a Shakespeare theme, so I did a portrait of Titania and her beloved Bottom from A Midsummer Night's Dream
The theme for this one was Innocence and Experience....
And finally, this month's "Bestitched" fabric CJ entry - the theme was 'bejewelled' .... which made me think of jewel toned fabrics and sari silks, and paisley motifs....
So I hand cut a paisley stencil (fiddly little bugger!):
And then sewed together strips of fabric in jewel tones as a base for the stencilling:
A smattering of sparkles finished it off
Wow Sarah, these are stunning! Your handcut paisley stencil is beautiful, you have such patience! Love 'bestitched' - the colours, pattern and bling :)

Oh Sarah such fabulous variety and the patience of a saint with that stencil cutting!
ReplyDeleteOooh. I missed this post! I do so love your Shakespeare page but your stencil cutting, as always, makes me go WOW. Looks so fiddly!
