Floral Wreath
Why not give something totally different to the one you love this Christmas! I offer unique products hand stitched by me using the candle wicking and silk ribbon embroidery method. The image below is of a pillow; however I can create a pillow, or a wall hanging of your choice. I can also personalize the image using your favorite color in place of the pink and on the initial.
Unfamiliar with candlewicking? Candlewicking is a form of surface embroidery that traditionally uses an unbleached cotton thread on a piece of unbleached muslin. It gets its name from the nature of the thread, which very much resembles the wick used in a candle. Motifs are created using a variety of knots and satin stitches. Subject matter is usually taken from nature, flowers, insects, etc. Other traditional motifs resemble PA Dutch or colonial designs. Modern designs include colored floss embroidery with the traditional white on white stitching. – As taken from Wikipedia.com. The end result? A beautifully, handmade item to use to decorate your home, to give as a gift, or keepsake that will be treasured for a lifetime.
Candlewicking, for me, started as a 4H project that won me an award. It has progressed into something I enjoy doing and sharing with others. The silk ribbon embroidery was something I ran across and loved the look of it. Because these techniques not as widely known, as they once were you will have an item unlike many others have. The added personalization only makes this item that much more unique and special. Additional personalization can be done by changing the lace, of the pillow, to a cording to match the image colors. It could be framed in a beautiful wood frame or even a frame matching the image colors. The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination of the completed item.
