Thanks so much for visiting and commenting! And it was a pleasure to visit your blog; I’ll definitely be revisiting … the blue/teal colour you mentioned is one of the shades available in the ‘dye-na-flow’ range, which is a paint-on dye. I love it too! =D

Thank you Susan! They were a joy to do … I don’t plan too much, and just let the colours and stitching ‘flow’ =D

Wow, these are beautiful. I wish I see close-up to see how you’ve created the surface texture.

Thank you! Here’s how you can see them close-up: just right-click on any one of the slides, then select ‘view image’ from the drop-down menu … the image will open in a new tab. You can then zoom in on it by simultaneously pressing your control and + keys on your keyboard. To zoom out, do the same thing with your – (minus) key. Enjoy! =D
