Embroidery Illusions

Gary Clarke

Description

Embroidery worked on transparent organza stretched over a frame creates the illusion of embroidery on glass; the shadow it casts makes the background appear as if 'under glass'. The work looks complex yet the stitches are mainly simple stab stitch forms. The 20 projects cover a wide range of subjects and treatments:

  • Acorns on a real branch
  • Beaded passionfruit
  • Stitched roses framing a painted cottage scene
  • Japanese plum blossom over a colour photocopy
  • Caparisoned Indian elephant in metallic threads over cardboard cutwork
  • And more!

Includes full-colour, detailed step-by-step directions and a photo of the finished work, the design outline and background instructions.
