Module 2: Metallic Magic - Metallic and Shi-Sha (part 3)

Ch 7 Contemporary Shi-Sha


In this section of the course I have explored using a variety of objects that can be applied to fabric using traditional patterns of shi-sha embroidery by hand and with sewing machine  stitches.  The outcome is four samples that are hand embroidered, machine embroidered, and a combination of both.




There have been some ups and downs with the machine embroidery, and in using some of the metallic threads for hand embroidery.  I enjoyed exploring the use of bleach marks to enhance the design and some different stitches to attach objects to the fabric.  

I set myself a target to complete this section within two full days.  I have achieved that goal with some pleasing results.  As always there are some ideas that didn't work as well as I thought, but they have been part of the learning curve.    

For the detail of my samples please look at the  pdf of Ch7  here.
