Not set in stone

Playing with layers again using images of textile work, ready to transfer to fabric (sometime!)

Layers

Inspired by others' blogs and ideas at the Camera club I have been playing with layers using some of my old stitched pieces. It's often by trial and error and a lot of patience - why do the handbooks give so little information about what I want to do!? I'm exploring the bringing together of digital photography with textile and mixed media work, but it could take a while ....

Embroidery

I find that one of the most fascinating developments in embroidery is the combination of photography and stitching, either by hand or machine. I took this photo in Inverewe Gardens in Scotland -


- printed it out, transferred it to fabric and added hand stitching. (This one's for you Julie!)
