Texture in stitch adds a extra dimension to a piece of work, mixing up different thicknesses of thread and chunky stitches gives wonderful surfaces. This week I have been looking at images showing the different approaches that people take to raise the surface of stitch.
Both of these lovely pieces of work are by Stevie Walker. Nature captured in a very expressive and individual way.
Beautiful and inspiring work from Gavin Fry.

thanks for showing these, i particularly like the taupe/biege piece with red stitching, its such an unusual colour combination. so fascinating to see yards of linear thread converted into these 3-dimenisional pieces.
I know, there are so many talented people and contemporary stitch is really inventive these days, boundaries are being pushed and rules are being broken. Wonderful, great to get your comments.
