Seed Head Hoop Embroidery

 This is a little hoop embroidery I finished a few weeks ago inspired by the lovely seed head drawings and prints by Angie Lewin in her book 'Plants and Places'.
I kept the colours fairly neutral but maybe next time I'll try to introduce a little more colour with felt or fabrics behind the stitching.
Hope everyone has a lovely week inspired by nature.

  5. I love your hoop embroidery. It has a great contemporary/retro feel to it. Will you leave it in the hoop for display? I think the plain round frame it provides is just right.

    Hope you are keeping well.

    Ruth.

    1. Hi Ruth. I'll probably leave it in its frame to keep it simple. I've been collecting Angie Lewin cards over the last few years which I've been meaning to frame so if I ever get around to it I might hang them together.
