More Tissue Textures

Thanks to Zena, Val, and Pauline for bringing their Tissue Textures back for me to photograph. I'm afraid that the photos do not really do them justice. It's so nice to see the results. Alison has some lovely work in progress too - so perhaps a picture of that another time.

Zena's design started from one of the Medieval tile designs, and she's added hand embroidery to develop the design further.


Val's is a fragmentof a tile, the colours work really well together. She painted the background purple and then tea-dyed it before outlining with gold thread and embellishing with beads.

Pauline also started with a Medieval tile design which she has repeated and rotated. They look stunning in black and white - the stitching is in red and orange by hand & machine. They have been mounted on painted pelment vilene which has been printed with a 'text' stamp and hand drawn letters - stunning!

Another one from Pauline, based on one of the Lewis chessmen. You can see the texture of the tissue in this one. Cut out with a soldering iron.

Thank you for sharing them.
