Spent yesterday dyeing fabric and thread—now my studio looks like a colour explosion 🌈 Frayed edges, rich hues, and a whole lot of texture. These scraps are already whispering ideas for kits and workshops. Chaos, but make it beautiful. #themanbroiderer #fabricdyeing #threaddyeing
🧵 Rock Pool piece update:
I’ve added some real shells to the surface, including limpets, and started free motion embroidering mussel shells to give them a bold, stitched texture. There’s also a lot more hand stitching now, which is helping to build up the layers and detail. #themanbroiderer #textile
Would you like a regular monthly Stitch and Natter? If so comment with your ideas #themanbroiderer #stitchandnatter
Had the best time at today’s Freestyle Embroidery workshop at @yarnybees! 🎨🧵 So much colour, creativity, and stitching magic. Loved every moment! ✨
