Needlequest Challenge 5

May theme - Blackwork 

I think my ambition is too high compared to the time I have available. I started this embroidery with a reversible design in Blackwork with it has taken longer than I had expected. The idea was that it should be the flip of a small bag, once I am finished.

I have previously designed and sewn Blackwork motives because I like the motives are reversible.

Last year I designed this purse in Assisi embroidery and Blackwork for Nyborg Castle to their Museum Shop.

Sol over Jelling Seminarium

Efter en vel overstået eksamen på seminariet, benyttede jeg lejligheden til at gå en tur omkring Jellinge stenene. Jeg har undret mig over at det efter at stenene er kommet på UNESCO’s liste over bevaringsværdige monomenter har været nødvendigt at sætte dem i glasmonter - kan sten ikke kan tåle at stå ude…?

Men luft forureningen har åbenbart gjort sit, for billedsiderne var noget mere forvitrede end jeg husker dem fra min barndoms skoleudflugter, så nej sten kan ikke tåle at stå ude længere…
