the picture above is a very early start on an assessment piece for City and Guild's Diploma in machine embroidery and is all about eczema, what I feel about having suffered it for over 4 decades, about how it itches, and bleeds and upsets me and limits my choices inclothing and activities and how it affects my 2 daughters to whom I have passed it albeit in fiffering forms and intensities....
How you need blues to cool you and greens to calm you down and the anger that erupts when it suddenly flares up for no apparent reason, the unfairness , the absolutely total effect it has on all areas of life without anyone else realising that this is the case.....
The constant battle not to scratch , the shampoo's to which one is allergic, ditto for creams especially the nice ones for face and anti-wrinkles....
Anyway I could go on and on, but won't.
The start point above is now almost finished, it has holes and amazing edges ( burned) and is very heavily stitched in free rinning as well as cable and with bits done on water soluble as well.
It's still a WIP but is progressing well and to see the WIP and hopefully- soon?!- the finished article come see it on my new blog at the address above...
