Started working on this again recently. The original layout I'd planned isn't possible (when I measured, I didn't take into account that the fabric is cut a little off grain, and it won't all fit with enough room left around the edges) but I've regrouped and started working at it again. This third section might be the last one, but I might do some going in the opposite direction above these ones.
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."
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
quilt motifs as blackwork! so in love with it.

As part of an embroidery course I did, I stitched this horse and rider in coloured blackwork. I used an image from the Bayeux Tapestry as my design inspiration.

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.
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.

I used very dark brown floss in place of the usual black floss. I plan to stitch a subtle background pattern and to tea dye it when completed. (Look closely at the beak on the bird on the right. It needs fixing. I show it fixed in the next picture in the album._
Finished! Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars. All in the correct orbital position according to the day I started. All surrounded by a structured, complex void.
Not to scale. I’m crazy, but not that crazy.
