This week the stitch is called Granitos, I guess Granito is singular, but then my Spanish has not improved since last Sunday!
Student:
If Granitos mean small grains,
then I can sew
Granito grains of sand,
green cacti Granitos,
with blue Granito flowers,
Chain stitched stems from where
purple Granito blossoms dangle,
and white Granito petals sprout,
while yellow Granito petals,
on top of Stem stitched stems
spread out from black Granito crossed centres....
Teacher:
Since when was your homework poetry?
The task was BIOLOGY!
Student:
But all these plants, and the sand, too, IS biology - flora and geology!
Teacher:
Well, at least your stitching is not as awful as your verse!
Very creative!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYou've shown very nicely how much variety you can get with very few stitches!
ReplyDeleteAnnex's trick with the needle to guide the placement of the tread was GREAT!
DeleteThis pretty composition would make a lovely greetings card
ReplyDeleteIt might end up in the card collection.
DeleteWow! This is so artistic and vibrant. Lovely use of the Granitos stitch
ReplyDeleteIt took some time to make the grains of sand!
DeleteWhat a lovely example of Granito stitches! (Granitos stitches?!) The poem was fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI am still not sure about the name. That 's' at the end make me think of plural but obviously it is not!
DeleteOh, this is lovely, such a great use of stitch.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to make but did take time to do the small grains of sand or pebbles.
DeleteBeautiful stitching and love the bright background.
ReplyDeleteThe background is SO difficult to find thread colour that show up well!
DeleteIt's a lovely scenery!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely STITCH! Much underestimated I think.
DeleteThe garden is having fun in that colorful background.
ReplyDeleteit's a difficult background to work! Almost no colour shows up well. I should have to stitch to white or black.
