Using some of my collection
October 27, 2011
I am a collector, sometimes bordering on a horder, but, I keep pulling myself up and getting rid of the excess when it threatens to overwhelm me. Sometimes it overwhelms me and then I get rid of it. One thing that I collect/hord is photos. I'm up to 8,500 again in my iphoto folder.
Some of them I have collected as ideas for embroidery. I ljust say "Oh I like that", click, into the folder, no reference or source. Then, when I am looking for something I can't remember where I got it from. But as most of my work is for myself and not for sale it doesn't matter too much. If I want it for a design I can't use it in case I breach copyright.
So these little suits are for my grand daughter. Two of the designs are from Jenny Hart's book, 'Embroidery Effects' which I purchased.
The other embroidery is from images I have collected in that folder, and I have changed a bit, and I thank the artists who posted them onto the net. My grand daughter looks really cute in them. (More elephants!)
I wonder why so many of us love elephants so much? My mother appliqued an elephant on some pyjamas for me when I was small...

For me I think it is their eyes.
