Tuesday, June 23, 2015. RSN Canvaswork: Progress After 8 Days of Class. After my 8 days of class for my RSN Canvaswork module, I still have a lot of work to do to finish! I have made a plan with Tracy and feel confident in being able to get it completed. She went over each new area with me so I feel like I know what to do to finish. It is now "just" a matter of time and stitching. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am an Assistant Professor in the Art and Design Department at the College of Design at North Ca...

Saves9: June 2014
http://saves9embroidery.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 26 June 2014. Having completed the central elements, apart from the hound that I'm thinking about, I've moved onto the supporting dolphins. The crown is known as a celestial crown and has stars at the top of each point. These I've just done in DMC Diamante thread in straight stitches to keep the look light and in proportion. The dolphins has black silk satin stitched eyes and nostrils and his scales are laid and couched gilt passing. Once the tail is done - more tight turns! Friday, 20 June 2014.

Saves9: November 2014
http://saves9embroidery.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, 21 November 2014. I worked the tail feathers for the peacock in pulled thread stitches as one of the first things I did. Now it is time to define them with padded satin stitch and trailing. And to work a centre feature with eyelets. Ready to work the eyelets. Continuous eyelets and working larger eyelets. Some of the larger eyelet holes will be filled in with Ayreshire needlelace fillings. Monday, 17 November 2014. Still a lot of trailing to go, but I can now also work on the body of the peacock.

Saves9: May 2014
http://saves9embroidery.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 May 2014. First I decided to applique the silk brocade onto the canvas. That provides some support both when I make the seams and in the long term. I also slipped a piece of fine linen over the metal threads behind my embroidery to protect the silk lining from rubbing against them. Once stitched I applied diluted pva round the edges to stop the canvas fraying when I cut it. Green silk brocade back. Sewing the lining in. Then the metallic bobbin lace made by Dianne from Gawthorpe. You lose so...

Deborah Younger Martin - Embroidery. Wednesday, 31 October 2012. Well, we are half way through the term and I'm nowhere near to half way done! I'm not happy with the moon, I've had a day of every thread knotting and my bricking has gone awry. I've got a feeling I will be starting class tomorrow with a lot of unpicking, but I have faith that Tracy can get me back on the right track! Tuesday, 23 October 2012. Tuesday, 16 October 2012. A field and a practice moon. Thursday, 4 October 2012. I've spent a lot ...

Deborah Younger Martin - Embroidery. Tuesday, 23 July 2013. Ok, so it was finished ages ago but it's been sunny! Overall, I think I'm happy with it, but it's one of those pieces I think I'd like to do again, knowing what I know now. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Originally charting my progress on the Royal School of Needlework Certificate of Hand Embroidery, with Tracy Franklin in Durham, but now I'm working towards a City and Guilds in Design and Stitched Textiles.

Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Dandelion of a Thousand Wishes. Saying at my first workshop with her "Save everything, you never know what you might could use them for"- and so I have. So, I am starting a new series. A series of goldwork weeds and wildflowers- outsider flowers using what some may call an outsider art of creative embroidery. I want them to feel fairly traditional in composition but completely nontraditional in detail and execution. I hope you enjoy it too! Before her haircut. . . In the very ba...

Deborah Younger Martin - Embroidery. Thursday, 29 November 2012. Church, sky and big black tree. Got lots worked out in class today. Tracy rescued the church, we came up with a plan for the big black tree and the remaining sky. I now have two weeks to get it all done. Monday, 26 November 2012. Apart from the bits I think need unpicking! I'm really not happy with the church, or the bricking under the big star. Going to leave them for now though, and get started on the big swirls in the sky. The last four ...
