Machine embroidery Leaves
I've had a request to see close-ups of my Leaves - so first the basket, which is how I originally displayed them.
Then some of the openwork Leaves.
To make these, I zigzagged over copper wire for thick pieces, and over beading wire for thin lines. Broke a few needles if I went too fast, or the wire bent back towards the needle - slow is best for this technique. I used different colour threads for variety.
More next time.

They are realy lovely and thanks for laying them out - you just don't get to see their individual fascinating beauty in a bowl. Also loving your paisley designs - I find the layers of the shape fascinating.
