Has anyone done Blackwork?

I keep looking at it and being very tempted. Has anyone done it before?

I have done a little, although I've used colour - the variagated threads work really well with it.

Same as Hayley, used coloured threads and did a set of coasters for a friend. Have a lovely leaf pattern in my 'to do' pile, but heaven only knows when I'll get around to that!

I've done loads of blackwork, my latest was a set of ornament designs that I made into a picture instead and a lovely blackwork butterfly that I did in maroon metallic thread and framed

The butterfly sounds great, any pictures of it?

I'll take one of it tommorow when the lighting is better:)

Thank you It is something I really want to try!

I've done quite a bit too.

This is my fave.

she's pretty, well one...oh and I love the socks!

I've done a few, my biggest was this one, measuring 12x16 inches. I quite enjoy them, I like making the different patterns and the difference in colours is really subtle but effective (eg adding blending filaments etc)
