A passion for Pascal.......Glazig style !

Hello to you all....firstly, please forgive me for being absent lately......Life  and 'husbands' get in the way sometimes ! Well I had a great week away in the sun shine....Lots of walking through forests and Met our son off the cruise ship for
a couple of hours which was lovely........
     Right lets get down to what you are here for.....................This embroidery is a
french style, which I discovered whilst surfing the internet ! I believe it is one of the most interesting, colourful and beautiful styles of embroidery that I have ever
seen......I adore the textural effect of the different stitches !
   A gentleman by the name of   Monsieur Pascal  Jaouen runs an embroidery school that teaches this style of embroidery....Here's the link

                            http://www.ecoledebroderie.com/cours.html


This is my version of his style.............................Enjoy !







    

I think I'm back in full swing with my stitching..........This project has really given me the creative buzz that I needed ! I am nearing completion of this little beauty, so
give me a couple of days and I shall post up the whole picture !!
Thank you to all the followers who take the time to visit and comment on my blog,
it is so appreciated.........Any questions about this embroidery can be left in the comments and I will do my best to answer........Have a good week
