I mentioned recently that I lost all public reference to my collection of embroidered sample books because of you know who.....(Typepad)
Insert some unladylike language here.
I also mentioned that I'd try to somehow post a little of that collection here and here we are.
A very brief video show and tell.
If there is anything you would like to see in more detail please just let me know.
Do you remember this post about using homeless samples?
There's more of that here.
Three samples now joined with a patchwork flower added top right.
I think I now have enough of these pieces to finish them with headers and create a new cloth sample book.
That's this afternoon sorted then.
New embroidered work.
Fabric paint and embroidery inspired by this collection.
There are lots of French knots and tiny snippets of cloth embellishing the painted areas along with a little running stitch.
There's along way to go with this one. It's developing over in class.
Small applique circles on each piece is the next step.
I will play with the placement of those later.
It's time to take a closer, more considered look at my current design project.
I have created and gathered a large amount of work and sometimes I'm blinded by it all.
Today I've collected a few pieces together for more focus, (less clutter) in order to move forward.
So now I'm digesting the information here, in this image. There's more clarity which will help the decision making and hopefully generate ideas going forward.
If you'd like to catch up on this current collection there are several links below.
and here,
There's been progress with this piece, you last saw it here.
It's turning into a patchwork piece....unintentionally.
I like it though. I especially like the patchwork flower.
I like the flower so much that I've made extra.
They will not be used here though......or maybe one would fit in that empty corner of gingham.....hmmmmm.
