Gentle silent helpers - Sanfte leise Helfer



























I just finished a piece I began at my daughter's house. I hadn't taken my materials with me and I used fabrics I found at her place. Now at home I did some embellisher work to add to the hand work.

The two small children on the piece are watched by their guardian angels without they noticing this. They keep talking about the little sheep...

I machine embroidered rather transparent the name of the piece in the sky so that you're not distracted with the words.

I also tried Jude's technique of weaving of stripes for the background.
The piece is about 15" x 14" (38 x 36 cm).

Ich habe gerade dieses Stück fertig gemach, das ich bei meiner Tochter angefangen hatte. Ich hatte keine Materialien mit, so dass ich verwendete, was ich bei ihr fand. Jetzt habe ich es mit dem Embellisher abgerundet.

Die zwei kleine Mädchen werden von ihren Schutzengeln -ohne dass sie es merken- bewacht. Sie reden unberührt dessen über ihre Lämmchen.

Ich habe den Titel des Stückes ziemlich transparent auf dem Himmel maschingestickt, so dass er nicht dominiert.

Ich habe auch eine Technik von Jude und zwar das Weben von Stoffstreifen
im Hintergrund.

Das Stück ist ca. 38 x 36 cm).

  11. Sara,
    I really really love the flowers in the garden, I just bought a couple of fabric scraps with printed flowers, I'll try something like that soon!
    Your drawings are so lovely I really must save up for an airpen like yours! In the meantime I'll practise on paper..

    By the way I've launched a " one day holiday" event on my blog would you like to take part?

    read you soon!

  14. I love the summery colors, and organic shape! I'm assuming you crocheted the border too! Sara, is there anything you cannot do??? Wonderful weaving technique, and the girls are so sweet! Fun how even though its different colors and new techniques for you, it's still very much a Sara Piece!!!

  16. Love the crochet and those beautiful variegated threads! I like how this piece is quite different to some of your others (although you have still used those beautiful faces of yours). Your art just keeps evolving!
