WIP
Embroidery Project
Title can't be empty.
Title can't be empty.
This is a project that I’ve been working on for a little while now, this is technically the first ever embroidery piece I’ve ever done (especially by hand), & is a fan art piece that will feature both Pongo & Perdita (aka Perdy) from Disney’s 101 Dalmatians along with a some other add-ons & will be a part of a gifted quilt!
I wanted to share some photos of my process, not only because WIP photos are fun to take but because I always find myself curious what other’s processes are! Especially when it comes to building the foundation (the base of a project - essentially the “bones” that it's built up from to create the completed piece), I find there tends to be some artists who process is “messy” - someone who’s foundation is messy but ultimately can build even the most masterful of pieces out of seemingly what some may classify as “indiscernible” chaos compared to others who’s process is “neat” - someone who likes to know each exact aspect of their foundation or someone who has to have their foundation absolutely perfect before even starting their piece. I’ve also found that sometimes, there are even artists who fall somewhere in between both of these outcomes!
Personally, I’m a little of both, I like to know my foundation & to be able to see a lot of the pieces that are going to be crucial in building up to my final product but I would be *absolutely* lying through my teeth if I said I wasn’t messy. I’m definitely someone who has a messy process but I know *exactly* where absolutely everything is or goes (even if it isn’t clear to an outside viewer), & I could easily be classified as a chaotic artist (or even just a chaotic spirit in general). But sometimes my best work starts out from straight chaos, such as this embroidery piece for a quilt. Aspects of this piece are slowly taking form & looking more solid, but as you can see over all a lot of the foundation is still fairly messy, & trust me - you don’t even WANT to see the way the back of this piece looks 😂!
