I During the last few days the weather has become warm and sunny even tropical at times. Everyone has taken advantage of the good weather, the freedom from lock down and headed to the beaches. I have enjoyed our garden and spending time working outside in the fresh air at my garden studio. A comment was made to me saying 'its hot enough to fry an egg' and this inspired a new embroidery piece, The Fried Egg. People chatting always fill my head with ideas for my arts and crafts. I used a small hoop, some cotton fabric and felt for padding the centre of the egg. Long stitches were used to create the centre and french knots and multi coloured beads for the egg white. I created a slide show to explain the different stages of making the brooch. The light bounces off the beads to give a lovely effect to the Fried Egg Brooch and bring it to life. I enjoyed making this brooch and I think I shall embroider some more, maybe even a double yoke!
