anyhoo, my friend Xin suggested i take Day pics of how my embroidering is going for my textiles assignment and i thought, why the heck not, this would be fun.
So for all youse who don't do textiles, our assigment is pretty much to make a cushion but embroider a picture onto it.
My idea is a dreamcatcher with a real hypster kind of feel- with all the feathers and chains- and I have been spending loads of my time thinking about it and making it perfect because I desperately want to enter it into the easter show. Really really do.
Okay so we have to add in 3 different elements onto our cushion, and I'm doing more than that. Other than embroidery, i have stencil painting, light wash, and I will be adding on feathers and buttons.
ok so here's how it looks now. For now, I've already done my light wash (the yellow background), the stencil painting and I started the embroidery. I wanted the background to be more lighter - though you can't see how dark it is by the photo- but, other than that, everything is a okay :)
For stencil painting, I used silver fabric ink for the base and lightly mixed it with blue and paint fabric ink to create a galactical print. I think it looks wonderful :)
For the middle, I will put a button onto it, which has a pearlie texture to it, to represent a hippie kinda feel. the middle stitches are couching stitches and the circle is made by blanket stitching I'm not sure what to do now though...because I haven't chose the colours to make the other stitches yet, and I don't want to ruin the whole embroidery because of my sucky taste in colour. So, any suggestions. Thanks smanks.
i. am. done. :)
