As you can see - the silk is all pinned out on my frame and I have paints, brushes, palette etc all ready.
At the back, in good Blue Peter fashion, some silk painted cards that I made earlier this week.
I put wadding at the back of each little silk painting and used silver thread to embellish them.
It was a costly project as I broke 3 needles before I realised that my metallic thread was not the best and it just didn't like my machine. Once I changed to Gutterman thread it was fine.
So .... if at first you don't succeed...
This is what I have achieved so far today...
I keep my flower shapes simple because I like to free machine all the detail - assuming I don't break too many needles.
Hopefully I shall have time later to finish them and then I expect they will go in our blog shop.
I am going to whiz round a few blogs now and see what you have all been up to.
Have a good week!

I have no clue who Peter Blue is... maybe I can Google him... or it.... er...sorry... but, they are pretty and I can hardly wait to see what happens next....
aha! thanks for the heads up on BP.... when I googled that name..... about 1,198 pages popped up....so I probably saw it somewhere in the mass...but, couldn't decide which it was. Now I know.... don'tcha love blogging? Always learning some new little thing....
Hi, just popped over to visit you after seeing your comment about Blue Peter on Vee's blog! I had to use a photo 'that I took earlier' on tonight's post, as I forgot to take one of what I had done today. I often have trouble with metallic thread - even when using a proper metallic needle in the sewing machine. Your silk painting is lovely - I'll come back to see what you do next! Regards, Anne
