Embroidery four

I did this embroidery to make a sentence. I chose these words as this is what some people said to my Nannie about my grandad when she met him. I chose to use this font as I didn’t want it to be normal writing. I wanted it to be different to how I have done my other pieces. To improve on this, I would practice this style of writing more before I did it. I would also change the size of the apostrophe as I think it’s too big. I made it this size as I realised that I had put it too far up for the words.

Embroidery two

This one is my grandads birthday. I want this to go on my first canvas. I made the same mistake as I did on the first one by drawing my letters too small. Because of this, the middle of the A,P and R are not really visible. To improve this I could have left it as an outline or I could stitch some black thread where the holes should be.

Embroidery one

This is my first attempt at embroidery. I think it went okay but I don’t like the face. I think this would have been better if my drawing skills were good. To improve this I would spend more time on my initial drawing. Doing this I learnt that the thread take takes up a lot of space so I would have to draw it slightly bigger to make it look okay. I don’t know if I will use this on my final piece of work.
