DARK DUSTY CONTINUES

This is another section of this block showing some silk ribbon flowers and fly stitch leaves.  
I've used my own hand dyed ribbon and various hand dyed threads.  
The entire block on Friday.

DARK DUSTY THREE

Thanks again to all of you who helped me celebrate my blog anniversary.  I've been busy in the dye studio over the last couple of weeks.

I've been working on my dark dusty on and off over the last month or so.
This is a section of the third block in my journey.  Some time ago I posted about some chenille I received and had dyed.  This shows how I used that chenille.  French knots - my favourites!  
You can't really tell from the photo but they are very textural.  
The butterfly is an iron on motif which I rarely use but it worked so well with the colouring that I couldn't help myself. 
More later in the week.
