Totally inspired by Charles Germain de Saint -Aubin



dont know why but this close up looks like an owl in a tree or possibly a cat,Im glad to say it doesnt look like that on the fabric, but perhaps I need to have another look because this is not good. I photograpghed it upside down. I cant look at it anyway now without seeing a cat. Must focus on the techniques I used.




please do not let this image put you off the book

 Got the book art of the embroiderer by Charles Germain de Saint -Aubin for Christmas, spent the holidays reading and making notes getting totally inspired and finally getting how I could turn my sketches and mark makings into embroidered pieces. These are more technique samples from which I learned so much, aswell as starting to think how I could turn them into full designs for garmet shapes, if anybody is out there and does read my blog, (as if ) let me know what you think. If not at least its a record for me to return too and when I see it on the screen it does'nt feel like my work so I can be honest about it and admit I hate or like it.
