Hanging Embroidery

9/4/2014

 

 

I wanted to create a 3d affect to my embroidery samples. From my unsuccessful samples I have reused the centre of the berry press to create a floral imagery. I have chose to improved a handful of my samples as I think that they are either too plain or do not resemble challenging techniques enough. This hand embroidery technique has been very successful, reviving my sample and making it more effect. When creating this sample I used thread to hang my prints from, I decided to use a soft lilac colour thread because I felt that this would blend in well with the busy prints sat behind the hangings. If I was to develop this sample further I would maybe experiment with using different materials to hang my print from such as different colour cotton, heavier and different thread such a wool. This would add texture towards my embroidery hanging. Comparing this sample with my other successful samples I think that has a whole collection that they will fit well together representing different techniques within embroidery and print.
