I picked the rose from my garden yesterday...it was the very last one left on the bush. So I called my digital piece "The Last Rose of Summer".
My second version has a clematis flower; we have a 'late' purple clematis climbing over an arch in the garden..... I can't believe it's still producing flowers.
I love 'text textures' ;-) this one is free from Boccacino (Flickr).
All the other textures and layers I've used are from Kim Klassen, Shadowhouse Creations and Playing With Brushes.
Whilst watching Frances Pickering at Ally Pally last Saturday I spotted her embroidery threads all neatly organised on rings and thought I can do that!!!
so I bought some of these.....
...and now they look like this! (Mmmm...not sure why there are so many pink ones - mum must have given me those ;-)

Lovely work Linda. That photo really makes me feel that our summer has ended.
Cool way of organising, wish I was half as organised as you.
"The Last Rose Of Summer" is gorgeous! I love how the gold trim on your beautiful cup shows up so well.
The second one is also very nice. I just love what you are doing.
And your embroidery threads looks beautiful as well.
Hugs,
Terri
Oh wow Linda so wonderful digital art. Fantastic layers. I love it.
Have a lovely weekend my dear friend.
the digitals are gorgeous and now you are alllll organized
clever woman!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE !!!!!! Both are so soft and pretty Linda, you said you would do that :) Lucky you having some flowers too, I didn't have any for mine. Thanks again for the challenge girlfriend :)
My threads look like your's used to and I have them all stuffed in a jar LOL.
What lovely tea cups - how do you do that? Hope your embroidery threads will stay like that mine never do!

Your digi art is fabulous Linda, so love all the textures. Enjoy the weekend, Annette x
So pretty - I especially love the top one, it looks so vintage.
oh my god, now you have given me a new phobia I will have to organise m,ine as well
I am very impressed by your tidy threads, and even more so by your delightful teacup design. All the elements which make it up are so lovely and put together they create something really beautiful.
Love your teacup pieces. How lovely to find those last flowers in your garden. I might try something like this except I don't like to use my printer, ink too expensive.
My but your threads are so organized now! I wonder how long they will keep like that? Mine are more like your first photo but I do have them organized by color, stuffed into individual baggies. Good enough for me. Too many to organize as I have gathered a lot from other people and from yard sales. I'm working on using them up. Ha!
Stunning work with the teacups Linda , they look divine.
Im absolutely loving all this digital work you are doing its delicious.
What a fantastic idea keeping your embroidery threads stored like this , they look fab. x
How organised!!! and those threads look beautiful all carded like that on their rings (mmm...probably should organise my threads too, they are a mess).
Cups and saucers are gorgeous. Have you seen the post of Grrl & Dogs blog on teacups?
