Well, mostly. There is also a border (I'll do it all at the same time, once the other side is done) and there are a few spots of colorwork. I'm not thrilled with the included colors - the red is too tomato, the green is too dark, the yellow is atrocious, something is wrong with the blue. So I'll be picking out new colors for that portion (same colors, different hues) but I've got time. Excited to be (finally) working on the other side.
I'm still super enjoying this project and very much looking forward to having the completed object hanging on the wall.
My attempt at stitching the first page of fill-in patterns from Lesley Wilkins' Beginner's Guide to Blackwork.

blackwork piece 7"x10" hand embroidered
For the Halloween opening at Redux
Opens Oct. 1st.
(Design is based on The Ossuary by Matthäus Merian. Variations of the original design were done by too many artists to list here, but arguably the most recognizable versions came from Emmanuel Büchel, Hans Holbien, Jacques-Antony Chovin, and Hieronymus Hess.)
My first blackwork (ish) piece.
Comedian Brian Posehn is coming to town and the local comedy magazine I write for interviewed him (Red Shtick Magazine, look for them online at redshtickmagazine.com). The staff was asked to provide questions for him. Mine was "What is a favorite quote of yours you'd love to see cross stitched?" This is for him. My first piece made specifically for someone of the famous variety. I am sorta neated out by this.
I've finally finished the present for my mother. It's taken forever and that whole journey has been blogged about here.
Blackwork decorative detail on the verandah posts of a house, from the Art Deco era (I think), in Gordon, New South Wales.
Simple and elegant. And eye-catching.

Tattoo by Corey Weir at Monk3ys, Auckland, NZ
I have always had a fascination with tattoo sleeves and in particular blackwork designs. I have a background in electronics and design so this is the design we came up with. This is also my first tattoo which was rather daunting to begin with.
Linen embroidered with black silk and silver gilt threads from the last decade of the sixteenth century, " Stylised Honeysuckle Motif"
Original size 7.5 x 7.5 cm.
From the Embroiderer's Guild collection (EG207), illustrated in 'Blackwork' by Lesley Barnett, Search Press.

In the Snare! episode of You Look Nice Today, this discussion took place:
"Yoga is a myth."
"You mean a myth like the clitoris or a myth like Sisyphus?"
"Both. It's Greek and it doesn't exist."
"It's a Clitorisyphus."
Jack, you are so lucky this shirt is way too big for me.
So, a Dürer-esque portrait, to show how the shirt has come along. Have redone the insertion stitch seams, and done most of the shirt's outlining. All that's left is to finish the outlining and work the interlace on the insertion stitch seams.
An attempt at creating depth and shadow using blackwork.
The challenge I set myself was to use just one repeated pattern filling the entire design, but with different thickness of thread to convey tone.
I'm not entirely satisfied that there's enough definition in this, but if you stand back a little way the skull seems clearer. For my first go at my own pattern, I suppose it didn't turn out too bad :D
I love quilts that show illusions of 3D, but I am not a quilter. How could I get the same effect in my work? By using Blackwork, of course! It seemed ideal, because I could control the density of stitching by the pattern I chose for each diamond.
The left hand side depicts an "object" that is physically impossible if each of the cubes really are cubes, and the right hand side is a classic 3D illusion. Do you see a cube in a corner of 2 walls and a floor, or do you see a solid 8-cube object, but with one of the front cubes removed? The sides share 2 patches.
Stitched in DMC colour variations thread on Zweigart antique white 28ct Jazlyn fabric with a stem stitch border, this pattern is available at www.cottonseason.etsy.com
