The pieces here are linked to this piece and also loosely linked to this.
I am sampling new work which is inspred by work from 2016, from patterns, doodles and embroidery techniques I worked on back then.
The patterns, the floral shapes have been hand drawn onto the silk before hand stich, patchwork and applique has been added.
I'm quite happy with the direction of this work but not happy with my colour choices in the blue piece.
It's not that they are 'wrong', they just don't appeal to me.
It's not a problem, that's what sampling is for after all, to help us make creative choices.
This work will feed into my 'sewing circle' experience which you can read more about here.
