Another lovely piece. I went to the Knitting and Stitching show yesterday with a friend and got talking with a lady who had done a workshop on free motion embroidered seed heads. I recommended your channel to her. I just love the way you talk through your thought process and your results are always stunning!!

I’ve just watched the last two weeks videos,as we’ve been away on holiday, it’s good to be back, and see how this has turned out, I love this piece, the background reminds me of lichen,then the bracken and grasses in the foreground look beautiful. It is good to have your own space, I’m lucky to have a room to myself, which is great 😊 Hope you are enjoying your new creative space, looking forward to next week, take care, and thank you for sharing xx ❤

I love it, Emma. Only you would know the mistakes and you fixed them anyway. It is lovely to have your own room. I am fortunate I have two. I have a creative sewing space and a creative painting space. I love having somewhere to retreat to to allow myself some quiet time to do small pieces. Although, I do have a huge canvas which I have to work out what I want to paint that. Have a great week.

I just love the textured background. I know that feeling of not wanting to spoil something all too well. I was given a beautiful handmade sketchbook for my birthday and I’ve yet to put a mark in it! I know I just need to put marks on the first page and get on with it. You’re so right, if you don’t get started then nothing else will show up for you. My intention is to stop being precious with new supplies and just play! If it all goes pear shaped it can be collaged over! I love the seed heads and looking forward to seeing how this piece develops ♥

My mom would always give out to me for using the good pens and good paper so a nice peice of paper or fabric scares me. I have been making quilts and felting and scraps things because I find it so stressful to dare cut into a nice bit of fabric. I've used old sheets all kinds of things. Today I did cut into my pink silk cotton that I have been keeping aside but only bevause a bit of it ripped did I start it. Its funny how those things really mess up your mind for life.

"Hope you stick around"....of course, I'm a subscriber! I'm curious, you say you were using a straight stitch to couch, does that mean you stitch down the middle of the yarn? I couldn't quite see where the stitching was. This is so lovely and reminds me of lavender heads. So you've given us additional ideas for our own stitching. Looking forward to seeing how this 'adventure" progresses.❤

I have a couching foot for my k99 and it straight stitches and guides the cord through a little hole thingy. It's very handy. But couching just means attaching it down so you can use any stitch you like. Zig zag will go over the cord so that you can pull it up in places to make loops which is nice. And straight stich will go through the cord ...you can hand sew it at places too so that it's not fully attached. Or you cann use decorative stitches too. Couching just means keeping it there somehow. You could even crotchet it or if it was a wool yarn on a wool background you could use a felting needle to couch it down too.

Hi Irene, yes I see what you mean! Just had a look online. I bought mine a while ago, but I think it would have been Aquatics water soluble paper sheet. It needs to be paper, not film or fabric. Hope that helps!

thanks Christine, it's a lovely way to create surfaces and texture when lixed with scraps of fabric and threads! You don't even have to use a backing, just the fabrics and threads as long as there is cross over stitching to hold it together. Have fun!

Hi, I love the use of water soluble paper, I've only used water soluble fabric. I'd like to see you use a brush etc to remove some more before perhaps using a mix of dark and neutral colours. What a wonderfully textured piece this will be 🙂

Hi! The algorithm brought this video my way today, and I am going to stick around to see more! I like the freedom with which you approach this process. I am generally a patternless creator (I mean there can be themes but I don't use patterns) but I do struggle with really opening up to let improvisation come through. Subsequently my work sometimes feel half-hearted, or at least not representative of whatever I consider my style to be. If that makes sense. 5 weeks ago I broke my leg, and now I have all day every day to see what I am capable of creating! Such a blessing, this opportunity to reset. I also feel a great deal of potential in my life, which is pretty novel (at my age I had been missing that!). Thanks for sharing!

I’m totally with you re ‘a little bit of mess’. My space is an old converted pigsty and I’m so please that I can lock it at the end of the day without having to tidy up completely. Thanks for a lovely inspirational video.
