I have always stated that I stink at blackwork. It takes such precision that my ADD brain finds it too much like mathematics for comfort. However, I decided to challenge myself a bit, and tried a bit of blackwork for this week's motif of the week:
Not bad for one of my first real forays into blackwork! I am using black silk on linen, and hope to add goldwork for the stem of the motif. I am thinking this may very well become a pin cushion.
I believe that the pattern is from Needle N' Thread, and I apologize if I am wrong. Fibrofog has been horrible the last couple of weeks. (On the positive side, I have had plenty of time to play with string. On the negative side, I haven't been able to find my car keys in a coupl eof weeks!)
It's lovely!
