~ STUMPED ~



 SO today has me following my creative muse of 
"STUMPWORK"
{{ Stumpwork or raised work is a style of embroidery in which the stitched figures are raised from the surface of the work to form a 3-dimensional effect. Technique Stitches can be worked around pieces of wire to create individual forms such as leaves, insect wings or flower petals. Wikipedia }}

 I have done some before, like this drizzle-stitch sheep from last year ~
{now resides in private collection}


and this work, 
my very first attempt at picot stitch &raised cup stitch 
and bullion stitch


not bad, but I am feeling that pull to do more...



my mind is swirling with ideas and I can't wait to begin again...
 How may of my followers do Stumpwork Embroidery?

Blessings from the Farm
