This week in hand embroidery, I have been developing my samples much further focussing on my successful drawings and the research I have been doing through my sketchbook work.

| Cornelli machine: negative space cut out samples. Although these are two separate samples, I think they look much more successful when placed together- the sample on the right is like the inverted version of the left, which I think is a really nice idea. I have been using inverting as a technique in my sketchbook and drawings, inspired by some of the contextual references I have been looking at. |

| Herringbone stitch and bondaweb sample- filling negative space. This sample has been much more unsuccessful. The bonded on loose threads done have as good an impact as a hand stitched line does, I think it looks much more soft and flimsy compared too my other samples because of this technique. Also, the use of ice white threads on this cream peasant cotton is not a good combination to use for samples. |
