Today I’m working on a needle painting sampler out of the #royalschoolofneedlework “Book of Embroidery”! I’m working on shading with the long and short stitch. I’m using a linen cloth, with one strand of cotton floss. I’ve set it up with three banners (original only has one) and guiding lines to help with keeping my stitches straight. For the first banner I’ve picked some beautiful pastel blues, greens, And yellows!! I absolutely LOVE needle painting, eventually I’d like to move on to embroidering lingerie!!! #followingmypassion💗 . . . . . #behindthescenes #embroidery #needlepaintingembroidery #walnucreekembroidery #walnutcreekembroiderer #embroiderer #practicemakesperfect #lingerie #beauty #californiaembroiderer #persephonespinart #persephonespinupphotography #hoopembroidery #hoopartwork #modernembroideryart #handstitchembroidery #handstitchembroiderycraft #braininjuryrecovery #creativityfuelsthesoul #thinkingoutsidethebox #simplethings #vintagecrafts #vintageblogger #pinupblogger #vintagelifestyle #inspiration #sewingcrafts #embroiderypinart #embroiderysampler #creativedirector #colortheory #retrocrafts #simplebeauty https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxxiz3SguqN/?igshid=1j7e6h8ttdyr0
