RAMSTER EMBROIDERY & TEXTILE ART EXHIBITION
This is a brilliant exhibition and well worth a trip.
The building is beautiful and is also used for weddings.
I have three pieces in the exhibition!
Here they are in the exhibition.
Here they are in my studio before delivering them to Ramster.
I really enjoyed making them.
They were based on a print that my husband bought me when we were
in Accra Ghana.
Here is how I made them.
I traced the design on the back of the base fabric.
Laid fabric I wanted to use for the clothing on the right side.
I then stitched around the design from the wrong side.
These photos show the fabric for the items on the head & the tunic top pinned to the right side & having been stitched on the wrong side.
The excess fabric will be trimmed away on the right side as shown in the next photograph.
The figures are now cut out from the base fabric and then placed on my dyed background.
They are now stitched down.
