Silk velvet, gimp, net, hand wrapped ball buttons and embroidery, the fabric element of 'creative portfolio'.
This piece has been a long time in the making and it's not finished yet.
There are two layers here, an embroidered silk dupion base with a silk velvet and net overlay, also hand embroidered.
I created the hand wrapped ball buttons as a means of recording my thread choices and next up, a little stitch reference to accompany those.
