Blog > Another beautiful blue bench in a rose garden
Hello stitching world ♫♥♫ hope you are well and happy!
Here is PART 2 of the Blue Bench in a Rose Garden by Marina Kukuy from Russia.
Marina’s entry for the silk ribbon embroidery competition was also the
Blue Bench in a rose garden, and here is her lovely rendition.

She wrote a little about herself: “My name Marina Kukuy and I am from Russia. I have been embroidering for about 5 years and have learned a lot from your books. I was stunned by the beauty of Helen Eriksson’s embroidery too. It seemed very difficult to me. I started collecting Di van Niekerk’s books and began to learn to embroidery through them. I am the owner of the Network Design Studio and I apply embroidery on curtains for decoration, interior decoration and clothing. I get my inspiration from everywhere: books, advertisements, landscapes and landscape designs of my students. My dream is to get a new book by Di van Niekerk with the author’s signature.”
And the way she made the straw hat...
and grass & leaves...
and roses :)
She also entered Children Fishing, which I thought you would like to see...
