Detail: the first composition of these hand embroidered medallions was a horizontal one, and in my 'what if' musings: I wondered how this would work in a vertical composition. I do find that it is helpful to go at an idea in more than one way sometimes. In the end I think it is probably personal preference in terms of which you prefer, I don't think one way is considerably more successful than the other, but I am certainly interested in your feedback. The previous version was posted in November.
Detail: this detail demonstrates how the centre pops out from the background. Every centre was hand embroidered, but in this work I did more embellishment with the machine in free motion when attaching it to the background. The more sewing, the more it pops out.
Detail: All the machine stitching on the background as well as on the medallion is with free motion, the stitching on the petals became more wild as I carried on and my ideas got looser.
detail: The background fabrics, both the green and the grey, are from my hand dyed collection. The green piece had quite a few different layers with different techniques of dying and printing.
