Still Deciding πŸ’›πŸŒΏ

                        Antique , vintage or new ?   

                                  I can't make up my mind . 


   I really wanted to use these beautiful antique silk threads on something special . 

All wound with such care on to these old calling cards and party invitations .  

         

Pearsall's  .....just so gorgeous and was once considered the best !  I don't think they  make embroidery thread anymore . Maybe just silk thread for chaps who do fly fishing .....not sure  ? I don't have much of Pearsall's silk threads .


Beautiful DevereYarns and gorgeous Piper's Silk ...not sure if I have the right shade of yellow/gold .

Au ver a soie Paris .. I like .....but only have red at the moment ....don't want to buy any more .


So far I have used Silkmill ..... I love it ! Love Love Love it ! 
 If I were to use it , would I have enough ?
 I'm not sure and if I were to run out , the shop has been temporarily closed , so I would not be able to get any more of the same πŸ˜”

    Could I mix them all up ?  You wouldn't ...  but I might ... maybe . . . . . 


               Angel wings ......  


                        Angel wings it is !  Lovely Japanese silk thread !

                    I think I'm pretty much settled on my choices now .

                  Now all I need is peace and quiet and lots of time  .

πŸ”₯Seraphim - Wings of Fire πŸ”₯


 The white Seta Reale Silk has been a joy to work with and of course the Silk Mill Silk .

      Now with angelic guidance , I feel moved to stitch the Seraphim's wings of fire .

I decide to use some antique silk . The colours are like no other make of silk embroidery threads . 

                                       I only use for special pieces .


                          Peek-a-boo !

                              Thinking about the eyes , what do you think ?

                                      Seraphim have eyes on their wings !
