Good to see your various experiments - and great to see you got to wear your collar!
Fabulous scrim pieces Deanna. Smashing results and the collar looks great. Wearable art at its best!
Your collar is gorgeous and it looks great on you. I love seeing all of your experiments.
i am fascinated by the scrim work...very nice in the hand too i bet. look like spiders spinning. the collar looks medieval and regal. cheers and good weekend deanna. 80s here - too warm for me!
Wow Deanna! I am in love with the loose intutive nature of the spider web lace on the scrim over that pale blue & white sky cloth and the way those stitched holes inside the stitched squares amplifies the nature of the open weave in the scrim... you are opening up so many new directions!
You and your collar are beautiful together. Your samples are gorgeous! I love the organic nature of the stitching on the scrim and the hexies are beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
lots of great samples there, and your collar really suits you. i think it's a lovely picture.
Nice to see you are wearing your bobbin lace collar. Have fun with Karen's workshop. I signed up for contemporary boro #2 starting the day before I return home. Are you in it? Hugs Nat
