Embroidery.

The second workshop is embroidery. I've done a fair bit of embroidery throughout sixth form and college so I feel a lot more confident in this area than I did with knit. As my theme has further developed I've decided to look more into Taxidermy, with this in mind and wanted to keep my work quite illustrative.

I wanted to focus more on the image of a Stag, as this is one of the classical animals for taxidermy. I wanted to do the majority of my embroidery work by hand, however there are time constraints so I was only limited to have one hand sample.

Hand Stitched sample of a Stags Head. (Variety of different wools used to create the colour tones in the stags hair.)

I thoroughly enjoy embroidery and in my mind its a big contender for what I should specialise in, I just love putting the time and patience into something and getting something good from it, whether its a small image….or a huge tapestry.
