DRIVEN TO STITCH
DRIVEN TO STITCH
When the canvas in question is plastic, it can be used to construct 3D items.
This abstract piece is worked on different sizes of mesh, and is based on the desert colours around Aztec Ruin in New Mexico.
Waste canvas gives a grid of threads through which to work traditional canvaswork stitches - but then can be pulled out to leave the stitches on the surface of the underlying fabric, here some handmade felt.
