Tender Whispers from the Heart – January finish

The Scars of Life – Aminata Sow Fall

I have finished my January poem for the Tender Whispers from the Heart class. The theme was New Beginnings.

Aminata Sow Fall is a Senegalese poet. She writes in French, but I have used the translation.

The linen is an antique torchon (tea towel) and I used Au ver á soie perlée in shade 171.

It’s my hand-writing. I used a frixion pen, ruled lines, and then wrote the poem.

I am not sure about the buttons. I wanted a bit of decoration, but not too much, for me, it was all about the words.

May Poem (Embroidery)

May’s Poem

I have started working on May’s poem.

I am using stem stitch. I am finding the thread (silk perlee) is unravelling.

Monthly Poems

Now that my name tag is out of the way, I can work on my monthly poems.

This is me transferring the poem onto my linen (it’s deadstock french tea towel linen).

I haven’t finished January or February yet, but my extra spools of silk have arrived.
