Whatever I want Wednesday: Silent Scream for Spring time in Paris!


 Whatever I want Wednesday: Silent Scream for Spring time in Paris.
Long long long long Winter this year, but as I get older I believe they are getting longer perhaps? This thrift shop find is one of my favorite silhouettes the classic swing coat, a lovely winter white wool unlined and perfect for a shot of Spring feeling on a bright cold day.
 The design inspiration came for another of my friendly talented digitizers Luiz he had this Eiffel Tower gem up for grabs one day and I pounced on it here is his website where you can purchase some very nice designs for your own inspiration. http://www.vitordigitizing.net/ the little poodles are stock designs from Embroidery Library Luiz did design a poodle for me but my thrift shop 50's poodle broach needed to be brought into the concept along with some double needle standard sewing machine embellishment. Tried to keep it simple and clean so show off the beautiful Parisian Blue thread and its simple satin stitch embroidery. Please go check out Luiz's website he does some very beautiful work and he can turn your art into thread for you also!

Thanks for visiting.
What can I make for you?
