Original artwork description:

I have displayed several close up images so that you can see the textures that I have created.

A free style embroidery in black stitching of a reclining nude taken from one of my life drawing sketches. The figure is sewn on a calico background. Lipstick and nail varnish is inktense watercolour pencils. I have frayed the edges of the picture and attached it to more calico so i can stretch in onto thick card.

It is a great way to make an image letting the sewing machine glide freely over the fabric, much like doing a drawing without lifting your pen from the page.

The embroidery is stretched over thick board using extra strong thread. This picture would look great in a plain black frame with mount to compliment the stitching.
