Day 14 #SeptTextileLove is fibre. My favourite to use as a base for embroidery and as thread is silk. Many people think of silk as a risky option but I love it. Great sheen, luxurious feel and it is strong. Here are some Chinese inspired flowers using silk floss and flat silk.

Current project is a linen warp: this scarf was woven as a commission, and uses the linen warp combined with lambswool and silk in the weft. #@seam_collective #septtextilelove #septtextilelove2021 #weaversofinstagram #handwoventextiles #textilesforinteriors #niche #handwovencushions #handwovenwallart #wallhangings #bespokescarves #textilesforlife #sustainablepractice #slowcraft #wearethemakers #contemporarycraft #warpandweft https://www.instagram.com/p/CTX4IMsIfGN/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 20 of #SeptTextileLove is texture. Usually I try and give the idea of texture in my thread paintings with just the long and short stitch. Sometimes however I am tempted to pimp my long and short stitch with something else as shown here with tufts of black silk for the caterpillar spines on this pendant.

Day 16 of #SeptTextileLove is line. A single straight stitch is a line therefore all my work is made up of lines; shaded, blended, contrasting, merging, outlined and sometimes hidden. I decided to choose a thread sketched piece where I used a black thread to ‘draw’ lines directly on the blank fabric. I then added appliquéd pieces of printed cotton.

Colour is day 6 of @seam_collective #SeptTextileLove . Colour takes a major part in my embroidery work. I love the stage of picking my colours, and seeing how colours work with and against each other. Here is fine crewel wool on silk, the main vein on the leaf is Portuguese knotted stem stitch.

Pattern is day 7 on #SeptTextileLove . Perfect example of pattern in hand embroidery is blackwork. Geometric patterns are counted out on evenweave linen using different weights of thread to change tones. Here is black silk on 55 threads per inch Zweigart Kingston linen... and yes it's very hard to count! @seam_collective . . . #septtextilelove2020 #blackworkembroidery #countedthread #countedembroidery #geometricembroidery #textileartist #silkembroidery #linenembroidery #shadedembroidery #countedwork #embroideryartisart #embroideryartistsoninstagram #embroideryartist #BritishStitchers #ihavethisthingwithembroidery #ihavethisthingwiththread https://www.instagram.com/p/CE3wXKrnnZj/?igshid=5tqxl8t1ix06

#SeptTextileLove day 10, reverse. Here are two contrasts, the marbled paper embroidery almost looking the same as the front and the Venice scene looking shocking!🤣 I am the first to admit that the back of my work does not always look very neat! Don't judge me . . . . #septtextilelove2020 #hoopbutt #threadpainting #needlepainting #backoftheembroidery #needlework #embroideryartist #needleworkartist #paintingwiththread https://www.instagram.com/p/CE9GrT1neYb/?igshid=5ws1vz4xsl8q
