Coastal evening.

Viv is enjoying the challenge of using the printable canvas and using only straight stitch .The sun was a bit more difficult but she nailed it !

We hear there is another in progress ,a new material has awakened her need to create. 

 

Computers, printers and stitch

After seeing a Zoom talk to the Bristol Embroiderers Guild Viv tried out printable canvas , as used and promoted by Sandra Meech ,the giver of the talk.

Using a photograph , taken in the Lake District some years ago, as inspiration Viv made a drawing loosely based on it.

This was then enlarged and Photoshopped before printing onto the canvas.

Viv stitched by hand with just straight stitch to bring colour and texture to the surface.The addition of stitch brings the landscape to life lending it a three dimensional quality .Well done Viv another technique to add to your repertoire !

 

Coral Reef.

 

Sally was so taken with the last little book she has been working on a new one.

Creatures once again feature

from under the sea.

More specifically coral reefs .A bright spot in these dark Winter days .
