My friend Lisa told me I HAD to take a look at LRs Very Steampunk Valentine Blog Hop because she knew I loved costuming and steampunk. She's right, I do loves me some steampunk.
I tend to follow patterns instead of creating my own design, but I decided to stretch myself.
I am glad I did!!
I am trying to learn embroidery at the moment so this is what I came up with.
Victoriana Silhouette
It looks a lot bigger than it is. It's a 4" hoop. I used a zipper to simulate the gear and brass look and hand stitched all the gears and the felt silhouettes.
For a look at what everyone else did and a chance at some fun goodies, check out the links below!!
Don't forget to leave a comment.....we all love hearing from you!
