It seems like literally ages have passed since I took up needlepoint. And indulging in it has been bugging me for years, as I had an idea of incorporating gobelins into /with apparel, and the idea still stands, but it needs time to ripen. However, while on holiday for Easter, I found these 2 gobelins in a small haberdashery shop. There were many designs, but not attractive and "painted" the way I had imagined, so I just settled on these two. I work on the first at work, and on the second at home, so my hands are always busy.
I plan to make embroidery and needlepoint workshops for both kids and adults this summer, but sourcing all the materials has been a pain in the neck, because I want them with my own designs, next fabric and printing is quite expensive, also good quality embroidery floss is so hard to find. But if the stars align, this idea will come to fruition in time. For the time being, I am happy to work on my own projects.
