These buttons were created as a means of recording the thread choices for my recent work in 'creative portfolio'.
Basically, each button was created in a colour which has been used for embroidery in that work.
You can see them in situ here and here.
Tonight I need to make more of these for the next design sheet....
I'm still working on this collection of surface design pieces, extending and exploring new ideas.
As this collection grows I am getting more and more ideas, more inspiration from each added piece.
There are more small pieces in progress to accompany these sheets with more ideas noted, ready to go just as soon as I am able to move on.
More paper embroidery, this time with extra lace, lots of pockets, bullion knots and hand wrapped ball buttons.
These images were taken with the new paper piece laid on one of my embroidered throws. As it's dark and grey here this allows the embroidered paper piece to be better captured, the details especially.
My table these past few days.....it looks chaotic I know but it makes sense to me honestly.
Surface design, sampling, inspirational imagery, threads, ribbons, cords....
I have moved this work on now, new pieces are taking shape.
I will share those with you next week.
