Embroidery

27/3/2014

 

 Adding embroidery into my samples to create a texture and depth. Developing from my stencil prints, I have then attempted to embroider into them. This was not as successful as I wanted it to be, as the paper was ripping and making my sample look untidy. Although I found that it was the thread that was too thick causing the paper to rip. I then sourced the same coloured thread but thinner, this made it easier to embroider with. I also found that adding material to the back of the paper made it more steady to embroider around the stencil. Although still I thought that this was too messy and wouldn't work on a large scale. I also think that the outline left of the stencil made it look to busy.
