    Embroidered Spring Wreath in an Embroidery Hoop

    Back in the autumn, I made a little embroidered autumn wreath in an embroidery hoop. It was my plan to make one for each of the four seasons. I haven’t yet made the winter one, and while February is most definitely not spring, this week has felt like…

    DIY Autumn Wreath One of the things I really like is coming home and seeing a wreath on my door. To be honest, there’s not an awful lot of other things to like about the outside of my house at the moment. But if nothing else, at least…

    Easy DIY Felt Flower Wreath Since my Christmas wreath came down, my poor front door has been left without a wreath. I’ve got plans to cheer it up by painting it a pretty shade of green, but the weather’s been either too cold or too wet! Until spring…

    It’s wreath time again! This time I decided to make a burlap and lace wreath. Up to this point I have had my Dried Fruit Wreath up on my door. I haven’t been too worried about taking it down because it’s not too Christmassy. Finally however I have…

February is the doorway between winter and spring February is the doorway between winter and spring 💚🤍🌱❄️

The days stay light a little bit longer. Twigs are tipped with buds, and the green swords if daffodils are cutting through the cold ground. Even when it is cold, there is sometimes a hint of spring in the air, and the promise of green things waiting.

Colour schemes for February 💚🤍 February always se Colour schemes for February 💚🤍

February always seems like a green and white kind of month. Snowdrops, obviously, but also I'm surprised at how much green there is at the beginning of February. The lack of leaves make the greens of moss and lichen, and of evergreens, more noticeable. 

By the end of February, there'll be blossom, and maybe even a few leaves 💚🤍💚🌱💮

So I gave in and got a gelli plate. I didn't befor So I gave in and got a gelli plate. I didn't before because I thought it was probably not the best idea to get myself into another thing that was  potentially addicting! But due to the kerfuffle in finishing the next unit of my textiles degree, I missed the deadline to start in February, so I start the next unit in March. And I still wanted to try it.

These are the best results from my first attempts. The first one is my favourite, which I made with a piece of hessian. The second one was also hessian, and the last 2 were bubble wrap. But even the ones that didn't turn out that well had interesting bits, and the others could probably be used for backgrounds or collage.

I'm going to carry on experimenting. If you've tried printing with a gelli plate and you have some suggestions, please let me know!
