slow stitch embroidery

Materials : Pink hand dyed silk, white linen, DMC stranded threads

This embroidery was one of the first slow stitch embroideries that I made. It took a while because I was experimenting quite a lot, but it didn't stop my mind wandering off thankfully. The pink silk is from a piece of a hand dyed sari remnant. The hand dying process has created varying shades of pink across the fabric. Looks like nature had a hand in it!

An incredibly bright, fuschia pink slow stitch embroidery with vermillion cotton stitches. The fabric and thread really work well together here. Would make incredible framed wall art.

Silk and voile on padded linen
Embroidered area is 4" x 4" (105mmx105mm)
This slow stitch mbroidery is called Nile Riverbank because of the tall fan like grasses that appeared out of nowhere, reminding us of the Egyptian heirolgyphics with the servants fanning the Pharoahs... back in the room!
Ivory voile, mink silk taffeta, pale grey silk taffeta, fuchsia pink silk dupion are layered over a pad of batting (used for making quilts) to give it some depth. A variety of embroidery stitches keeps the layers in place over a self stripe, cream slub linen.

We have a very calming little embroidery here with a young lilac tree speading its way over a pretty garden arch. I used only three thread colours in soft grey, white and and lilac. Over a grey linen background I layered strips of white linen and ivory voile and stitched them in place with running stitch, fly stitch and  French knots. The young sapling lilac tree grows delicately over the panels and the whole thing creates a cool and tranquil atmosphere.
This embrodiery is unique, so there is only one available and it comes in grey card mount which can easily be framed as wall art.

A simple little embroidery with a lot of impact because of the gorgeous contrast of the vermillion thread on the mink coloured silk. This would work well framed as wall art or central motif sewn into a cushion... just an idea.

Lots going on in this slow stitch embroidery, with lots of tiny stitches using three different coloured cotton threads over white linen. Would look great framed as wall art or used as a beautiful centrepiece to a cushion project.
