Seaside Dreams

Summertime and I continue dreaming of a short vacation at the seaside. Well, not this year… Anyway, if I can’t go to the sea, let it come to me! This Tilda-doll and her pet whale is the beginning of my “Seaside Dreams” series of works. Hopefully, you will enjoy watching my creations as much as I enjoy making all this stuff. : )

Sometimes all you need to sail away is a pet whale!

Seaside memories

I have never been to the seaside. Though I have always wanted to. And when I make sea shells, dolls in bathing suits or cross-stitch pictures with sea landscapes, I feel closer to my dream. Or, better, my dream becomes closer to me J They are my own memories of the place that I have never seen, if I may call them so J

This time let me show you one of my embroidered pictures devoted to the sea. It’s a DMC design, part of their “Collection d’Art” series. I believe, it’s the end of a nice and warm day at the seaside. Though many people told me they saw a sunrise there!

The color choice may seem quite strange until you make the first stitches. In a while you will see that the colors you would never combine look great and make the design more true-to-life.
