My fourth approach was sewing into prints. I had done this previously by hand but wanted to see how using a sewing machine could improve my technique. Sophie had mentioned doing so in my crit last week and so I experimented. I found the process far too uncontrolled for my liking, I couldn't make the shapes I wanted to precisely and quickly got frustrated. I came back to it a day later for another go but despite making some imporevments, knew I wasn't going to be able to achieve the look I wanted from using the machine. I reverted back to hand sewing to be able to take control and go and a much more steady, relaxed pace. I find hand embroidery quite therapeutic so happily stitched into my images for a couple of hours. I was happy with my outcomes from it; below are my attempts.
