Embroidery for a Summer's Night

I've been embroidering the garden again, and using more of those tiny little vintage photo album pages!  I also used eco prints, black lace, antique tapestry and hand beading.  I'm pleased with how the black lace and dark eco print gives it a real night time feel.

Spring Garden Embroideries

I've been busy making some tiny little embroideries for Spring.  I used some eco prints I made last summer and some bits of old tapestry.

They are mounted in tiny little antique photo album pages, only about 3" across.  

On my desk this morning is this lovely bundle that my good friend Lynn from One I Made Earlier Today sent me - she sent instructions on how to make the little bow and also how to cover buttons without a button covering gadget.  I love the book mark made with that gorgeous batik fabric - thank you so much Lynn!

Spring Moss Collage

I'm loving working with this vivid green velvet!  
It's so moss-like and so refreshing from my usual earth tones.  I used a page from an old antique photo album - the shape of the photo cut-outs originally drew me to it, although they are rather ornate for a lot of things I find.
