''Crewel twists'' my starting bible

I believe this is the second time when I am telling you about this amazing book, my first attempt was in a blog post from 17th July 2013.
My first attempts to crewel embroidery have been made after I have bought
by Hazel Blomkamp
I had found a great review of this book in a very well known site needlenthread.com  and I have to say this book actually is more than my expectation. Learn a lot from the patterns from the book and to say the truth I did not even follow the color scheme from the book ( economical reasons). Decided I want only to practice the technique in preparation to my Royal School of Needlework  courses. 
Here are few pics of my first steps .







I actually plan to get back to this book and do all the patterns in there in a more professional manner after I fill finish the Certificate in RSN . I actually find more exciting to work with cotton and the needle lace on the top of the design is more in tune with my other love - needle lace making .

Anyway happy crafting all
Renata

    You don't want to let the work down until you finish the project.
