September 6, 2008 ~ posted by fiona in TIF challenge :: oca textiles 1 :: stitch

stitched circles

The next stage is to gather the stitching, then wrap the bundles from the centre, in pairs, so the wrapping yarn links them together. I hope I’ve left enough fabric unstitched to get the effect I’m envisaging – we’ll see.

    This looks very exciting. One of the nicest things about blogs is seeing how ideas develop. So thanks. I am looking forward to seeing the results or indeed more of the process.

    just wanted to say “hi”, I added you as a contact on flickr. I love the dyeing work you have been doing and also your sketchbooks – I am just starting to keep sketchbooks myself.
