Stitched piece number 1

I’ve decided to base this assignment on the drawings I made for the introductory project, with inspiration also from my study of the whitework collar in Project 1.

The embroidered piece drapes and handles beautifully and I tried screwing it up as if it had been used and left on a table.

Although I haven’t fully completed the first piece I want to move onto the second piece now and will experiment more with scale and some 3D elements.

Stitched piece number 2

Here I have experimented with scale, starting again with a pieced background and stitching large stylised flowers over the whole piece. I have also experimented with cut out shapes and with applique to create a statement piece.

This needs more work to draw some of the elements together but for now I am going to move onto piece number 3.
