Rachel Wright@RWhitechurch It's slightly hair-raising when you get to the "slitting the background" part, isn't it!

@virtuosew It really is! And trying to stitch it together again neatly.....
@RWhitechurch Yes, really scary! The time I tried it was part of a #Goldwork and #Trapunto mashup and the facing fabric was silk. I have never been so frightened with a needle in my hand!

@virtuosew Do you have a picture?! Sounds a wonderful mashup!
@RWhitechurch Behold "Akhenaten", in #Goldwork and #Trapunto with embroidered and raised elements. There's the whole story on my blog as well.
At present he's in a box so the thousand watt glare doesn't perforate my soul.

@virtuosew This is wonderful Rachel, so beautiful. And that stare!
@RWhitechurch As I said...!
I would love to think he could be sold one day, but if I can't live with him, how can I expect anyone else to?!

@virtuosew Someone will find him mesmerising, and he is so striking!
@RWhitechurch He is, and he was great fun to do - every design challenge offered a solution for itself. Eventually!
Alison B@virtuosew @RWhitechurch wow. ❤️❤️❤️
