Another couple of samples

These are a couple more samples I've produced on my course.  The top one is couching using a zigzag stitch.

This is a piece of calico with hundreds of tiny shreds of fabric, threads, ribbons, fibres and wool bonded onto it.  A piece of black netting was placed over the top and using a blue and a purple thread I used some of the patterned embroidery stitches available on the machine.

Tissue Fabric

I made this background using a couple of sheets of vliesofix, calico, napkins, angelina fibres and watered down acrylic paint.  Once completely dry I machine sewed the grid using both straight and zig zag stitch.

I used all sorts of embellishments to decorate each of the squares.  These included stamped Angelina fibres, beads, sequins, alterations dies, skeleton leaves and painted tyvek.
