Yarn x velvet x ceramic
This series of work explores underwater landscapes.
Hand embroidery sits delicately on the softest lion yellow velvet, I have used Ceramics, French knots, bullion stitch and running stitch to create this textural embroidery.
I have used; cream bamboo cotton yarn.
The ceramic embellishments are made from porcelain, the porcelain has been mixed with a 'calcium borate frit' (quite simply this is crushed glass) to make it much stronger and more durable than normal fired porcelain. When you fire it, the glass melts within the porcelain and means it is stronger than normal porcelain.
All elements are hand made and no two alike due to the firing process of the ceramics.
