Red Wall Hanging and Slow Stitching
In the video below I share with you some of the processes behind creating this wall hanging and you also get a look behind the motivation and thinking that went into creating this piece.
It uses a variety of elements not normally placed together and also includes areas of slow stitching and embroidery stitches.
It also has cotton that has been grown from my garden woven within it
And also includes sculptural elements and beading
Let me know what you are working on and share with me on instagram @realityarts

Stitched Meditations - Boro Shasheko Stitching
In this video I share with you some of the processes used for creating this wall hanging, it uses some of the techniques known as Boro Shasheko also Slow Stitching.
I created on several small pieces to begin with and then brought them together.
The pieces of material all were recycled and they have their own story to tell. Let me know if you have ever used the stitches in your own work.
It is a very meditative piece and I also added a number of additional elements and sculptural pieces onto it. I also used Moringa wood harvested from my garden as sculptural hangings at the base of the wall hanging. Thank you for taking time out to watch the video.
