Remember this Doodle?

I was trying out different marking pens, fabrics, thread types and colours....
This is silk on the top and cotton satteen on the back....a mixture of glide, bottomline and silk threads....

Which turned into this....sixteen inch square wholecloth...some of the teeny tiny feathers were a little too small for a longarm really...but sometimes you just have to try it to find out?

And then I tried a different colour thread.....

I had a practice of some spineless feathers too just because I had some free batting still on the frame.....

When I'm practicing or experimenting I don't frog/unpick any mistakes/variations....I think you loose momentum that way and once your interest is lost then it's lost so I just 'carry on regardless'!

Then, because I can't throw away my test pieces...they turned into this!

Front and Back

I think I like the darker thread although you do need to be more careful to follow your design when using it!
