@Melissa Gill I am going to stiffen into sculptural shapes. The complication is I am wanting the embroidery to heighten the interaction between the shapes! I think this may be just figuring it out as I go.

Embroidered prints- Progress pics!!
Hello! I've been working away at my embroidered prints and wanted to share my progress. Both of these are going to be used as samples for my 4-week online workshop "Meditative Marks: Printing and Stitching with Presence" starting this Saturday. Click here for more info and to register: https://meditativemarks.carrd.co/. We only have a few seats left! New colors: what new colors should I add to these (pictured below)? I have a few ideas but I'm so curious what you think~~ please comment below and make a suggestion. Thank you~!

These are beautiful! Am loving the progress. This past week I worked on adding some embroidering to a pencil drawing I did on silk to emphasize some textures. (Back story, it was a piece that I washed in an attempt to figure out what « fixed » the pencils on silk, and much of my work washed out, so the embroidering was an attempt to bring in more definition and redeem the piece.

@Melissa Gill thank you! It has been a fun way to get a different look out of the silk for sure.
So nice to meet you!

@Bizzy Canary I love your approach to giving back! For the piece pictured above I used several different mediums. On the yarn, I first knit the piece out of a wool/silk blend, then used acid based fabric dyes to create the gradient of color on the lace. For the silk portion in this piece, I used Derwent inktense pencils that I then activated and fixed to the silk with jacquard textile paint. Often, with the silk, I use acid based dyes that are steam fixed as well.

Rust dye print
I have an interest in learning about natural dyes and printing. This is from last summer.

Love this result. I am seeing so many people doing amazing things with eco printing. I took a course this past spring to learn the techniques for eco printing with leaves and flowers on silk. Once I get set up in my new studio, I hope to put together some new pieces in the spring.
