Hand Embroidery

I have been experimenting further with traditional stitch and how I can use my drawings to inform my embroidery. Line work has been a focus of mine this week as I want to find a creative way of translating the landforms into surfaces.


 

I have just been using monochrome and calico before I begin to develop into something more complex. I am interested in surface decoration and pattern and how line work can evolve into something bigger. I am happy with the way these have turned out, especially the sample based upon the Mirror Lakes in Te Anau. I want to produce something that represents my journey. Next I want to continue to concentrate on style, shape and composition and then I can add colour in later.
