The Peony: finished, finally!
It’s finally done! I have to admit – the leaves have a little bit of experimentation going on, partly because I was trying to figure it out, partly because I was just tired of working on this piece. I glued it to the mat under tension with PVA bookbinder’s adhesive, and put mat on front and back to keep it under tension in the frame.
Fabulous!
that is absolutely stunning.
oh!!! *huge gasp of wonder at the pretty*
Beautiful! It’s nice to see it done 🙂
I have to shake my head in awe; that’s stunning. The talent of the folk I know astounds me on a daily basis. 🙂
Beautiful! Congratulations. 🙂
That turned out beautiful. Bravo!!!

Now that I’m about to start doing Iris petals, I’ll be hanging off your belt, since you’ve just done such a similiar thing.
You can see the way the light catches the light green leaves at the top there – lovely
absolutely breath taking!!!
It’s beautiful! Truly an amazing piece of art.
If he wanted to do something like that, he could use “Zazzle” to create such things. Heck, I’d even get a print of his work!
That’s lovely!
Oh, WOW!
great work
Well, I have to say that is damn fine work for a beginner at silk embroidery. Better than mine was! You’ve got a really good shine on the silk and the colour change works really well. You should be very proud of it, I hope it’s going to hand in pride of place.
Tip for if you get it framed – make sure the glass doesn’t touch the silk, use mounts or spacers to create a gap between them.
What’s next?

Well done, Michael. I hope you are pleased with it. I know that project fatigue can sometimes dampen the the pleasure of working on something but hopefully finishing restored you enthusiasm for you peony. It is lovely.
