I'm testing here, sampling, trying out an idea I have for buttonhole loops and how they might be used on various embroidered pieces, on surfaces. The purpose of them here along with the ribbon will become clear when this little piece is finished. I'll be keeping this, I will use it...as you must know by now I'm a big fan of sampling. My sampling usually finds its way into a cloth book or a ledger but this time I wanted to take it a little further into a finished piece, a finished sample...but still a sample, created for the purpose of testing out an idea.
Yesterday this popped up on my Facebook memories. I had a lot of questions about it so decided to share it here. It's from 2011, an interview with me in the Australian magazine 'Inspirations'.
Reading it back I could have written this yesterday, it all still holds true. The only difference is I now use colour more and more.
