For this piece I had incorporated a few of my samples into this embellishment. I’ve attempted to express more colour by creating an ombre effect with watercolours on the cuffs and collar.
I thought about adding an extra feature using embroidery thread that’s overhanging the cuffs, this was a similar approach to a mixed media piece that I’ve previously created.
These are a series of embroidery and stitch samples, experimenting with different stitches and colours.
These patterns are influenced by my paintings and collages and using a variety of stitches including: runnings stitches, back stitches, stem stitches, cross stitches, blanket stitches etc.
I’ve also incorporated other fabrics such as recycled denim, t- shirts, paper, felt and watercolour dyed fabric. I had a lot of enjoyment experimenting with fabrics and I like how they create a nice texture.
