I made this thread painting for Kelly as a page for her traveling sketchbook for the blog called Artshine. The art there is a mix of mixed media, watercolors, and textile art.This piece is a mere 8" X 8" square...fun to do too.
Simply rayon and polyester threads on a sandwich of off white muslin.

Great patterns in thread.x
This is beautiful. I love the colours and I do like trees. What did you use for stabilizer?
Lynn, This is fabulous!
Thanks all.
Dolores, I simply sandwiched two pieces of muslin, front and back with polyester/cotton batting in between. No stabilizer other than that.
This is lovely! Wonderfull how you made the image using just thread.
This is lovely. I must give it a go sometime.
I really like this. I can imagine that you did this kind of art work when you were in your teens/twenties. I really like it...reminds me of 'California Dreamin'
I am always intimidated about doing sewing machine embroidery. You got everything so right. Are there any tips you would give a newbie?
Dear Quilt Architect, no, I did not sew or make art quilts in my teens or twenties. Are you suggesting that the style of art would have been popular in the 1950's & 60's? Perhaps so.
Tips? YOU can do this you fabric wizard! Draw your picture in pencil. The sew using a free motion foot/darning foot/feed dogs down/back and forth filling in the space. It's really quite easy...does take patience and a lot of thread! ;-) Enjoy!
Lynn,
This is lovely; spontaneous, intuitive and free flowing. After our talk yesterday, it makes me think of Bedouin embroidery.
I love them Lynn. A technique I need further info on before giving it a go myself.
Happy, happy trees! I love them Lynn. They also look feminine.
U use beautiful colors in these works, and the purpleit's just perfect for this one, nice job ! :)
Very attractive work ! I like it!!!
Wow, lucky Kelly. I am sure she will treasure her travelling book with this gorgeous creation in it.
Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog. Yours is beautiful and you are so talented with needle and thread...and yes I could feel the velvet on the butterfly
