RAINBOW CIRCLES


I have been looking through some photos of my embroidery and found something I would like to share.  Some time ago the Embroiderers' Guild UK forum participated in a project to make some "rainbow squares".  Each circle in the square had to be just 3 inches and worked in one colour.  These are two that I created.  I wanted to use as many stitches and materials as I could to demonstrate the diversity of the opportunities available to needlewomen.    There are silk ribbons and threads as well as tiny beads and crystals.

This is very interesting, may be it is the kind of exercise we all should be doing from time to time.

Thanks Radka, it is interesting to use just one colour and then to put as much as you can into a small space. I did four altogether. I will try to find other pics.

Dian, these pieces always excite me whenever I view them again. I love them. Both are beautiful and the colours are vibrant on my monitor, which makes my day. I especially love the green one, as I live in such a 'brown' environment.......
