Fantasy

Fantasy is the name of this small napkin pattern, measuring approx. 20 x 20 cm. It is embroidered on linen fabric with 8 threads per cm, using flora-cotton no. 341 (black) with 2 strands in the needle. The stitches used are cross stitch and backstitch.

Fantasy is also the theme in my small brooches, which measure approx. 4 x 6 cm. They are not simply flat pieces of fabric, but are shaped to create a more sculptural expression.

I can no longer see well enough to make such small pieces, so I have moved to a larger format and work on pieces measuring approx. 18 x 24 cm.

They are small sculptures that can be used as decoration on a table or wall. I use full strands of DMC thread, metallic thread, and various types of yarn on coarse canvas fabric.

I use leftover fabric and yarn, which are bent and shaped to create a sculptural form. The work is finished by pulling threads on the back so the embroidery keeps its shape.
