I had some silk floss and gold thread in my work area, and they were demanding a chance to be beautiful. So I stitched up this atropa belladonna potion bottle to soothe their cravings to be seen. Is it medicine? Is it perfume? Poison? You'll have to open the top yourself to find out...

Day 14 #SeptTextileLove is fibre. My favourite to use as a base for embroidery and as thread is silk. Many people think of silk as a risky option but I love it. Great sheen, luxurious feel and it is strong. Here are some Chinese inspired flowers using silk floss and flat silk.

First try at needleturn applique. Could be better, could be a lot worse. #1yearofstitches #embroidery #needleturnapplique #silkfloss #larp #monogram (at Drammen, Norway)

Dandelions, do you love or loathe them? In french they are known as pissenlit which translates as 'piss in bed ' due to their use as a herbal diuretic back in the day. A work in progress here in fine silk floss from @pipers_silks in Jasmine.

I love the blue of cornflowers and this thread painted version has been embroidered in beautiful shiny silk floss. Here it is getting a super fine outline of gold thread to finish it off. This highly stylised design is based on embroidered book bindings of the seventeenth century and is from my book on Thread Painting and Silk Shading Embroidery. . . . #ThreadPainting #needlepainting #silkshading #peinturealaiguille #ricamoamano #broderiemain #seventeenthcentury #17thcenturyembroidery #silkthreadembroidery #silkfloss #cornflower #embroideredbookbinding #embroideredbook #britishstitchers #ihavethisthingwithtextiles #ihavethisthingwiththread #embroiderylove #embroiderytutorial #embroiderybook #embroiderylesson #embroideryinstaguild #stitchbook #手刺繍 #historicalembroidery #flowerembroidery #silkthreadembroidery #longandshortstitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CCEWz2MHJTe/?igshid=go8wt4cpmneg
