| Stage 1 - felt applied and long and short stitch started |

| Stage 2 - Shading into the long and short stitch |

| Stage 3 - Detailed shot of shading |
Now back after house moving for three months, and working on a small commission, working my logo for a customer - my silk and gold cross.
So you will see all the details I work through to complete my logo starting with applying the felt padding, followed by the long and short shading, also known as silk shading.
The design is worked on a fine linen fabric, worked with Stranded cotton threads, with the design size being roughly 5cm square or 2 inches.
The photographs are very magnified, and show the work in bigger detail making the technique look coarser than it actually is.
More to come . . .
Funny, I was just thinking about you this morning and whether or not I'd see you at the Harrogate Show in 3 weeks'....=)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the goldwork part. It's a lovely logo.
Hi Elizabeth,
DeleteYes, I will be there on the STITCHBUSINESS stand - promoting our City & Guilds centre - stand E4 in the basement - I think it is.
See you there - I may take some stitching to do!
