I do enjoy a bit of experimenting in my stitching. This time I'm trying out a kind of cross hatch stitch/pattern in my Doubtful Guest embroidery. I'm not trying to copy Edward Gorey's original drawing exactly, but make my own interpretation with needle and thread. Hope it will work out nicely :)
In the meantime I'm also trying my hand at making fabric designs. I wanted to do this for a long time and I'm very excited about the two designs I'm working on. As soon as I'm 100% happy (well 99% happy maybe) with the designs I will have them printed at Spoonflower and if they are any good you will be able to buy them there as well!
P.S. don't forget to enter my giveaway of Aimee Ray's new book plus 12 skeins of DMC floss!
Love your embroidery (they're always perfect)!
ReplyDeleteThe crosshatch looks so brilliant, it creates a lovely texture. look forward to seeing your Spoonflower designs :)
ReplyDeleteYour experiment sure looks good to me. If your fabric designs are half as good as your stitch craft I am sure they will be very much in demand.
ReplyDeleteYour texture is just amazing. Looking forward to seeing your fabrics :-)

I love the experiment. Damn, you get amazing texture in you stitching. It's so inspiring. I also like what I see here with the dual fabric... so cool.
ReplyDeleteLove the cross hatch stitching, what a fabulous idea, and really effective in this piece that you're working on. I love it
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your lovely comments! Cross hatch indeed gives a lovely texture. Works best when the stitches are not too long though an inch maximum. :)
