This is the page I made for Shelly.....her theme was "Vintage & Birds". I received a box of vintage doilies so I embroidered one in variegated cotton to use a background. I had a piece of vintage silk from an old coathanger of my grandmother's and I ironed an iron transfer for the flapper and gramophone onto the silk. I machined those pieces onto the doiley using rayon thread & a decorative stitch on my machine. I embroidered the flapper using a variety of threads with pigment pen highlighting her legs, arms, gloves, face & hair. The gramophone was embroidered in cotton floss. The birds were very faintly stamped on and I embroidered them using a thicker silk thread.

I was pretty pleased with the way it turned out & I think Shelly was too.
