Hand embroideries/needleweaving/free machine embroidery. Collages with paints & fabric
Where did you learn your textle skills?
University and via family background
Anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group??
I teach textiles part time at a local art centre. I taught C&G embroidery at College for many years. I like to sit in the evenings and hand sew but often need 'a push' to start me on a new project. Hence wanting to join your group.
I echange fibre art postcards with a small group and one of our members is Annette Jeavons wse work I admire.
Christine - I love your latest photos, especially the paintings - you're very talented. I wish I could paint or draw. The painting of the female form is stunning.
Hi Christine,
I suppose the petals on the cast-on stitch just curl up on their own because of the tension. I really hadn't noticed but I'm glad you like them. You should try cast-on stitch and see if it works the same for you.
Here's a link for the Oglala stitch.
Have fun. :)
