We take responsibility for ethical trading seriously and are a proud partner of GoodWeave, a not-for-profit organisation that ensures fair working conditions. I`m feeling much more confident with free machine embroidery and really enjoyed stitching these little birds, layering fabric and thread to echo the original drawings.
Emma has been inspired and transforms and reawakens the style of pulp art by bringing her own take on it.
I took inspiration from my robin drawings in my sketchbook, layering tiny scraps of fabric and stitching them in place, using recycled cottons and little pieces of calico that I painted to just the right colour. It’s hard to choose a favourite embroidered bird from the book although the Forest Kingfishers (page 15) are so striking and the colouring and texture of the tree branch and Grey Strike Thrush (page 50) is amazing.
Judy Wilford worked with the mediums of fabric and thread and the many and varied techniques of hand embroidery. A stunning, high-level embroidery book on birds, by Judy Wilford, one the world’s leading embroiderers. We are currently open to the public BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Monday to Friday at our retail outlet in Wembley, London. As ever, Corinne’s inspiration comes from traditional Scandinavian Folk embroidery and the beauty of nature and wildlife around us.It’s one in a stack of books that I’ve been planning to share with you for a while, so … here we go! Finally, there's a section on framing up your work, examples of finished work and a stich guide complete with diagrams. I would consider this book for an advanced level however I know all the embroidery stitches in the stitch glossary and how to build the picture is very clearly explained. Two complete projects walk you through every embroider process, from initial inspirations through to completed artwork, allowing you to pick up all the skills and techniques needed to complete a hand-stitched, low relief panel.
