I knew I didn't want to use beads as I figured that would make it very heavy and I really wasn't sure how they would compare to the sequins I knew I was going to use in this piece.
Embroidery seemed to the answer but which stitch? I looked at my trusty stitch sampler by Lucinda Ganderton and came across the Japanese daring stitch. I quickly set to task with making a sampler as I wanted to be confident (1) I could do it and (2) it would work.
Even with this pass I could see the possibilities of this stitch and decided to stitch over it with more Japanese darning stitch but in a different colour and it became even more dimensional.
With that little exercise out of the way I was able to concentrate on page and overall I am very satisfied with this page.
July has been started whilst working out the ending of the last page and should be finished by the end of the week. August not started but will be started by the end of the week - so for a change I am feeling pretty much up to date with this project.
