Couching


I am trying to make a birthday card for my wonderful husband. I wanted to try out some couching and decorative stitching techniques and to use a variety of scraps of ribbon, threads and beads.

Here is the result so far. Although I am pleased with each individual part of it, it does not seem to work as a whole, and I think it is because all of the colours blend into the hessian background too much. So later today I shall try to jazz it up with a few contrasting elements. I will post the results so that the comparison can be made.
