Running Stitch-2

TAST-2012-10th Week-Running Stitch 

Well here are some of my explorations of the Running Stitch. I was doodling with this stitch as I am going to teach some beginners especially little ones this summer. So I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. But I would build upon this sampler as I have many ideas . Moreover at the end of TAST I will also have many inspirations from all of you.

 

Watch out for more as I am working on the sampler....

New Additions

These are the new additions to my stash:

These are Knitting Cotton thread balls. There were so many colours to choose from, single as well as shaded. But these are costly because of the bigger size of the balls i.e. more quantity. But the thread as such is not fine when compared to that of branded ones. Any way these days it is difficult to get any threads or yarns for embroidery here. Kundan, zardosi and such types are works are in fashion now.

I wanted to add some variety to my stash of yarns. So I ended up buying these and going above my budget limit. But these will last for a long time and I may not get the opportunity or chance to buy these again.

Now for some designs. These can be drawn with the liquid Bindi or Kajal. One can also use liquid eye liners which are available in many colours and also that they have a brush with fine tip to apply. I have only used green, black, blue and some metallic colours. Here you can look at the colours of the eyeliner:

They may also be available in India too. Now for the Bindi designs:

You can use colours of your choice to match the dress you are wearing, or use black or red or both which go with all colours in general. You can also adjust the size of these designs according to your choice. 

Watch out for more in my next posts....
