I love the look of doily's. They are beautifully intricate, and with their round shape, that also remind me of mandalas.
They were always traditionally made in plain white thread, so I've made one with a modern twist.
I've used bright green cotton thread for mine, and I think the results are amazing.
So, here it is!
At the start ... (I was having a nice cuppa while I worked on it)
And the finished piece ...
Whilst some of the doily patterns look a little overwhelmingly complex, they are actually relatively simple to do, with really striking results.
I might actually frame this one for the wall.
