Day 534: A Cut Above

I added this new photograph to Creative Journey in my Photography section, Embroidery: Stork Scissors

Stork Scissors.

Does anything say 'embroidery' as classically as stork scissors?

I was thrilled when I got my first pair. I felt like a 'real' needleworker.

Some stitchers I know collect embroidery scissors. Now they come in the shapes of all kinds of animals. I admit to having two pair of stork scissors, one pair of chanticleer scissors, a special 'snip-a-stitch' pair with a notched blade that helps easily rip out unwanted stitches, and an extremely nice pair from Gingher. I haven't gone crazy with collecting ... yet!
