Freeform Chicken Scratch
My next excursion in the Rediscovery of Chicken Scratch has been to try and work out ways of adding freeform Chicken Scratch to crazypatch.
So far I have only tried one pattern. My first step was to trace the underlying crosses that form the basis of this pattern onto tracing paper, and embroider them on a Heart, thus:
I then removed the tissue paper and wove the second parts of the Chicken Scratch, and made snowflakes of a few of the crosses. It then looked like this:
After that I added a solitary rosebud over the top using waste canvas, and this is how it now looks:
There is a special place waiting for this piece. Some time very soon. I wonder does it just need a few beads in those circles first though - and bugle beads in the oval sections???? Part of me wants to, and the other part of me loves the simplicity.

Linda I really like the inclusion of evenweave stitching against the chaos of crazy its an interesting contrast and tension. Very different.
