Another Angel embroidery 🌿

 I'm back !  I have been really busy in my vegetable garden . So busy that I have had no time to myself to sit and do my embroidery .

However , I have made a jolly good start out there , everything planted out and now the sun has returned after weeks of mizzle and fog .

There is nothing more to be done except the watering of everything early in the morning ...and hopefully soon be harvesting some lovely fresh produce .

Happy Summer Solstice to you ...or Happy Winter Solstice if you happen to live "down under " .

Here on the Lizard Cornwall it is hot hot hot ! Too hot for me ! 

So now I plan to put my feet up , sit in the shade and pick up my embroidery once again .

I have put aside the Pocket Prayer Oratory for a little while , because I have been feeling inspired to embroider another Angel .  It is from a medieval stained glass window .

I came across it on Pinterest . It didn't say which church it is from . I am on a mission to find out .

 Anyway I love it and am going to embroider it .

I love embroidering Angels .  I feel their presence , their invisible influence when I'm stitching them .

 Been sorting out all my needles , linen and silk threads .

 I made a simple sketch of the Angel onto my linen with a pencil taping the linen and the picture onto a window .

 I'm just using plain ordinary sewing cotton to go over the outline before I begin to embroider with my lovely silk thread .

                       I always start with the face .

 I will continue to stitch over these lines and eventually I'll be able to roll it up and take it out with me on our travels . 

                                     Peace and Love 🕊️

Fiddly fiddle !

 

                                             I think I'll keep it simple with the bow .

                            I'm still thinking about which thread to use for the strings .

 Started writing Christmas cards today . Most places around Cornwall had some snow yesterday ....here on the Lizard Peninsula we just had rain .  Lots of it !  

Angel's halo continued ... 🕊️

 I finished the angel's halo . It took me three days to do that little tiny bit of gold couching ,pulling it through and fastening all the ends down neatly as I could on the reverse .

Next I have to find some very fine thread for the vielle strings and embroider the bow . That white line is just a guide line .
