The Wall

Three pictures of two different walls at a nearby church. The first is a plaster and lichen affair, good for wax rubbings, giving a criss-cross pattern. The second is a random patchwork affair and gives a pleasing 'void' shape (see next post). The final wall is the most colourful: plenty of green, yellow, white, mushroom brown and greys (light grey and slate grey/almost blue).

Stitches suggested are:

1st picture - good old cross stitch although norwich stitch could be used in adjoining blocks.

2nd picture - perhaps a rhodes stitch for the 'patches' and a tent stitch for the mortar.

3rd picture - using only one stitch, I think a cushion stitch could be used to shade the shapes or painted canvas and needleweaving to suggest either the shapes or the moss.
