Layers of blue hues

This one took me back again to my days of textiles at school-sewing with whatever i could find and sending sewing machine needles flying whilst trying to sew over cane! I took the colour inspiration from this week's CR84FN #24 and found some aqua blue ribbon that was just right for the challenge. I then laid out the ribbons and decided to stitch them one after the other.

Not too sure what I wanted after that, so I raided my scrap stash for blues and aquas, and even ventured into my garage-where i found the cane. I then came across the Cupcake craft challenge #138 with its "lots of Layers" theme- and decided to do just that-build up some more layers. I stitched further over some strips of blue curvey paper and then built up the flower motif. I sewed over this a bit too. Finally I took the cane and used a close zig-zag to try and cover it. The perfectionist in me wanted to cover up all the wood, but I ran out of thread! But I quite like the unfinished/rustic feel now!
