All in a day's work

Today I started the big sew...the machine embroidery, the final stage in the process of creating this large piece.

A New Piece emerges

This is a commissioned piece of a family's journey around Australia, so after consultation, I paint up a design. This is then reviewed by the client, and I redraw sections that are not correct.



I then paint the silk using instant silk dyes. This provides the background colour.


Small pieces of fabric are then cut out for the details, these will then be machine embroidered onto the fabric.
