Cutwork in colors



I cannot describe how much I love working the cutwork lately.
I have been experimenting with colors and fabric (various weights of cotton and linen) to see which one would give the best result.



I made this necklace for me. I love the burgundy red and this necklace would be a nice detail for the outfit I am making for Easter. The cutting was pretty challenging since the outer edges tend to show their tiny fibers which were trimmed to the limits and yet manage to peek out here and there.
Generally, I am satisfied with the work being accomplished and will show some new designs I've made so far.
Have a beautiful week!

    That's interesting about the fibers. I've always thought my limited expertise was behind fibers sticking out but I wonder if it has to do with the original fiber too? Even some things I satin-stitch with the machine have done that. So perhaps the thread chosen as well as the fiber all play a part.
