This is a piece of canvas work that I've finally finished after at least 2 years messing about with it. I discarded it at least twice, took it off the frame I had it on and was about to unpick it at one point but eventually I rescued it and now am quite pleased with it. I had been playing about with the idea of triangles so thought I would just stitch some triangle shapes onto canvas and see where it led. I started with the purple threads and then I used the green and turquoise to make more elaborate patterns over the top and added some beads as well. The dark purple border is a kumihimo braid that I made and couched down then I added beads and a triangular buttonhole stitch as the edging. It's mounted on a piece of green/gold handmade paper (bought), then a canvas. The green behind which doesn't match is the wall!
I suppose it just shows you should persevere with an idea.
