These first 4 images are of a stitch exercise which was to create a grid and then fill with a selection of different hand stitches and different ways of using that stitch...The stitches included fly stitch, french knot, cross stitch, seed stitch and chain stitch...
The next 2 images are the start of a similar exercise as the one above...these show the attachment of blue cable using french knots and a secure stitch...
The 3 below are showing experimentation with hand smocking using different materials and different pattern structures...
The image underneath is of my first attempt at trapunto...the process of creating a shape and then stuffing with another material,objects....
Finally this image below is a small experimental sample of combining hand smocking, trapunto and embellishment...
