Embroidered embellishments for a wool skirt.

I was originally aiming to let the embroidery on each curved piece follow its shape and contours. For the larger pieces, I thought latticework would be a better way to fill the surface. And now, when I was starting this latest large blue one, I couldn’t let go of the idea of echoing some of the dotted pattern from the silk fabric. So my originally quite contained design is now sprawling all over the place. Extra everything.

I hope, but I’m not entirely sure, that it’ll work out when I assemble it all. Hopefully the colours and the similar shapes are enough to keep it all together – or maybe it’ll be a messy jumble of disparate parts. Maybe it’s time to try it out, even though not all the parts are finished.

The good thing is that it’s all entirely modular, and I should be able to easily get more of the fabrics, if needed. If I don’t like it, I can discard any parts that don’t work – use them for something else – and make new ones with a different design.
