Variations Using Dimensional Bargello

I've been playing around with some of the dimensional bargello that Jana Roberts-Benzon calls "puffy flamestitch." It's really pretty, fun to do, and presents all sorts of interesting possibilities. Jana presented it as a solid, connected sheet. I found it even more fun to make strips and then shape them in different ways. The photos below show some of the various ways I manipulated the strips I made. I particularly like the pieces that are really open and have a light, airy appearance.
